Special Education (New Mexico)

New Mexico special education users should create plans for their students who have IEPs so that data can be reported in state reports. This data is primarily used in the Special Education Snapshot Template.

Plan Types are created in System Administration > Special Ed. Plans should have a print format of NM Exceptionality (state reporting). This print format includes the basic special education information needed in state reports.
