The following sections document the specific fields used for state reporting purposes. For more specific information about the Team Members tool, Evaluation, and IEP, see the corresponding linked documentation for each section below.
See the Arizona Special Ed Setup - State Reporting Purposes Only article for information about setting up state reporting fields for users who do not use Campus Special Ed to manage legally compliant special education documents.
Team Members
Tool Search: Special Ed Team Members
The Team Members tool lists the individuals who are part of a student's special education team, including counselors, case managers, family and service providers.
Members can be added through finding an existing person and linking them or by entering a person without consulting Census.
The Individual Education Program (IEP) or Evaluation team uses the Evaluation to document the student's educational needs and the student's determination of eligibility for special education prior to an IEP being created for that student.
The following fields on the Evaluation Information Editor MUST be populated in order for the student to report special ed assessment information properly.
Evaluation Information EditorEvaluation Type
The Evaluation Type field is used to indicate the intended use for the evaluation, whether the student is being evaluated for the first time (Initial), reevaluated (Reevaluation), or transferred (Exit). Only Initial and Exit types are reported.
Indicates the date the evaluation occurred. This field automatically populates with the current date. This field is not required for state reporting, but is required to save the record.
The Assessment Outcome Summary field is used to identify the student's age appropriate behavior functionality related to the Assessment Category.
Options are:
Overall not age appropriate: Dos not yet show functioning expected in any situation, does not show immediate foundational skills in any situation
Overall not age appropriate: Occasionally used immediate foundational skills across settings and situations
Overall not age appropriate: Uses immediate foundational skills most or all of the time across settings and situations
Overall not age appropriate: Shows occasional age-appropriate functioning across settings and situations
Overall not age appropriate: Shows functioning expected for his or her age some of the time and/or in some setting and situations
Age Appropriate: Functioning generally is considered appropriate for his or her age, but there are some significant concerns about the child's functioning in this outcome area
Age appropriate: Shows functioning expected for his or her age in all or almost all everyday situations that are part of the child's life.
The Exit Evaluation is used to document those students who have stopped receiving special education services.
Exit Evaluation Editor
There is no requirement to populate an Exit Evaluation for a student when they are leaving special education or leaving a school. Logic exists in the product that uses the student's enrollment and special ed information to report the Exit Reason based on the State's Special Ed Exit Matrix. However, when the special ed Exit Reason that needs to be reported is different than the Special Ed Exit Matrix or is not covered in the Special Ed Exit Matrix, an Exit Evaluation is necessary to identify the proper Exit Reason to report.
Evaluation Date
Indicates the date the evaluation occurred. This field automatically populates with the current date. This field is not required for state reporting, but is required to save the record.
The reason the student stopped receiving special education services.
This field is required to save the record, along with the Evaluation Date and the Exit Date.
