Tool Search: IDEA Dec 1 Count

The IDEA December 1 Child Count Extract is a report of students with disabilities as defined under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, as amended in 2004 (IDEA-B 2004). This report is a total count of all students receiving special education and related services. It provides count, LRE, race, and other data to meet specific data requirements in Section 618 of the IDEA-B 2004. 

Kentucky State Edition users can run this report against schools in multiple districts.

The December 1 Child Count is submitted to the Kentucky Department of Education, which submits the state aggregated data and local district and school level data to the United States Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs as required under IDEA-B 2004.

In addition, the Kentucky Department of Education uses this count to determine the amount of the Exceptional Child Add-on to the Supporting Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) funding formula for local districts.

This report is due to KDE on December 15th. Data should be submitted using the Secure File Transfer (DoSE Upload) Web Application.

Selection Criteria

Report logic only considers Special Ed plans and does not consider PLP plans. Special Education settings and preferences are no longer controlled through the Enrollments tool. Special Ed settings and preferences should be made through the IEP Enrollment editor on the IEP.

The following must be true in order for a student to report in the IDEA December 1 Count Extract:

  1. The student has an active enrollment as of the Effective Date of the reporting year.
    • The student’s enrollment cannot be in a Calendar or Grade Level excluded from the state report.
      • Logic will include students whose Enrollments are marked as “Exclude”
    • If the Effective Date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, enrollment records are compared to the date of the previous Friday instead.
    • Include students with an ‘N’, ‘P’ or ‘S’ enrollment type within any included calendar. If students have multiple enrollments in included calendars report from the following hierarchy:
      1. Special Ed (N) enrollment
      2. Primary (P) enrollment
      3. Secondary (S) enrollment
  2. The student's active enrollment as of the Effective Date does not have the No Show checkbox marked.
  3. The student has an active IEP with a date range that overlaps the Effective Date entered on the extract editor.
  4. The Valid IEP must have an enrollment status of Active, Active Referred, or Inactive selected in the IEP enrollment editor.
    • When the IEP has an enrollment status of Inactive, the enrollment end date must be after the Effective Date of the reporting year.
  5. The Valid IEP must be locked.
  6. The Valid IEP must have a Special Ed Setting (LRE) selected on the enrollment editor.
  7. The start date for the Valid IEP must be on or before the Effective Date of the reporting year.
  8. The start date for the IEP must be after the Effective Date of the previous year.
  9. The start date for the Valid IEP must be earlier than the calendar end date.
  10. The end date for the current IEP must be on or after the Effective Date of the reporting year.
  11. The student must have a valid Evaluation Document.
    • This document must meet the following date criteria:
      • The evaluation document used by the report and warning must have a Date of Eligibility Determination that is not more than 3 years minus 1 day prior to the Effective Date of the reporting year.
    • The evaluation document's Date of Eligibility Determination must be the Effective Date of the reporting year.
    • If two evaluation documents exist that both meet the date criteria, this is a training issue. The report will pull the evaluation document with the most recent Date of Eligibility Determination.
    • The KYESR is not used as a valid Evaluation document. Only CSR (Conference Summary Review) documents (of any type) or KY Evaluation documents will be considered valid Evaluation documents.
    • The evaluation document must be locked in the Documents editor.
  12. The valid evaluation document must be locked.
  13. The valid evaluation document must have a Date of Eligibility Determination that is not more than 3 years minus 1 day prior to the Effective Date of the reporting year.
  14. The Date of Eligibility Determination must be on or before the Effective Date of the reporting year.
  15. The student must have a Reevaluation Due Date on or after the Effective Date of the reporting year.
    • The student's Reevaluation Date will always be 3 years minus one day from the Date of Eligibility Determination of the most recent valid evaluation document (CSR) unless:
      • The student has a primary disability of 15: Developmentally Delayed and the student's Date of Eligibility Determination on the valid evaluation document of the reporting year is after their 6th birthday. If this is the case, the student's Reevaluation Date is the student's 9th birthday minus 1 day.
  16. If the student has a disability of 15: Developmentally Delayed and is greater than 8 years old on December 1st of the reporting year, the student is not included in the report.
  17. If the IEP is marked 'Inactive', the student will still report if:
    • The student has an IEP End Date after the reporting year's Effective Date.
    • The student meets all other criteria mentioned above.
  18. Exclude students younger than 3 or older than 21 as of the Effective Date.


Additional Reporting Logic

  • Students will pull once per district in the final list. If a student has multiple valid enrollment records in the same district on the count date, the Primary enrollment is pulled.
  • If multiple secondary enrollments exist in the same district, but no primary enrollment exists, then the following occurs:
    • The enrollment with the latest start date is identified.
    • If start dates match, the open-ended enrollment is selected over an ended enrollment.
    • If no open-ended enrollments exist, the enrollment with the latest end date is selected. 
    • If all of the above criteria do not identify a single enrollment record, the enrollment with the most recent creation date is selected.

Generating the December 1 Count Report

  1. Enter the Effective Date. Only data as of this date is reported. 

    This field defaults to Dec 1st of the school year selected in the Year field in the Campus toolbar. If Dec 1st falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the reported effective date is the Friday directly before 12/01.

  2. Select the Extract Type. 
    • Student Count - This extract type will generate the December 1 extract without running data validations. Users who generate the Student Count report in Batch Mode will need to run the Validation Report separately. 
    • Validation Report—This extract type will generate and present a series of data validations before generating the December 1 extract.
  3. Select the Format of the report. The State Format (CSV) should be selected if the report is being sent to the Department of Education. Use the HTML format to review data prior to submission to the state.
  4. Select which Grade(s) will report data OR
  5. Select an Ad Hoc Filter. 
  6. Select the Calendars to be included in the extract. Calendars can be viewed by active year, by school or by year. The calendar selection will be defaulted to the school selected in the Campus toolbar.

Understanding the Validation Report

An Error Report will generate before the final extract is generated. This error report will display warning and error groups. Students appearing in these five groups will display in the extract fields. The error report will only generate when run against the active school year.

Error 1

Error 1: The following records have a Reevaluation Due Date on or before the Effective Date. They will not be included in the report.

This warning excludes students with a disability status of 15 (Developmentally Delayed) if those students have turned 9 on or before December 1 of the reporting year. 

This warning displays students whose Reevaluation  Due Date is prior to the Effective Date of the active reporting year. For example, if the Effective Date of the report is 12/1/08, students whose reevaluation due date is 11/30/08 or less and who still have a Special Education status of A or AR will appear in this group. 

Logic looks at the most recent locked CSR when calculating the Reevaluation Date.

Fields displayed: districtNumber, schoolNumber, SSID, lastName, firstName, reevaluationDate

Screenshot of an example of Error 1.Error 1 Example

Error 2

Error 2: The following students are not between the ages of 3 and 21 as of the Effective Date, they will not be included on the report.

This error exists because Kentucky policy does not allow the inclusion of students under the age of 3 or over the age of 21 for this report.

Fields displayed: districtNumber, schoolNumber, SSID, lastName, firstName,birthDate

Error 3

Error 3: The following records have an IEP End Date before the Effective Date of the current year, they will not be included on the report.

The error reports active sped students whose IEP End date is before the Effective Date of the reporting year.

For example, if the Effective Date on the report is 12/1/08, students whose IEP end date is 11/30/08 or less and still have a special education status of A or AR will appear in this group.

Screenshot of an example of Error 3.Error 3 Example

Error 4

Error 4: The following records have an IEP End Date and Reevaluation Due Date within the prior year; they will not be included in the report.

This error reports students who have an IEP End Date prior to the Effective Date of the reporting year and failed to meet reevaluation date criteria. These students are not included on the report.

  • This error reports active sped students whose IEP End Date and Reevaluation Due Date is prior to the Effective Date of the reporting year.
  • IEPs where the IEP End Date is on or After the Effective Date -1 year and the IEP Start Date is After the Effective Date - 2 years.
  • If the student has a disability of 15 (developmentally delayed) and is over 8 years old on the Effective Date of the reporting year, the student will not pull on the error.
