What is Significant Disproportionality
States must annually collect and examine data to determine if Significant Disproportionality is occurring based on race or ethnicity.
Authority: Section 618(d) of the IDEA and the implementing regulations in 34 CFR §300.646
![Page 3: Significant Disproportionality and CEIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814f52550346895dbcf811/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is Significant Disproportionality
Data analyses by race/ethnicity must include the following: identification of children as children with
disabilities; identification of children as children with a
particular disability; placement of children with disabilities in particular
educational settings; and the incidence, duration, and type of disciplinary
actions, including suspensions and expulsions.

What is Significant Disproportionality
Statistical results stand alone A review to determine whether the significant disproportionality is the result of inappropriate identification is not applicable
SEA must require any LEA identified as having significant disproportionality in any of the four above-mentioned analysis categories to reserve the maximum amount of funds for comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS).
15% of IDEA funds

Defining “Significant Disproportionality”
States have the authority to define for LEAs
State determines
criteriafor what level of
disproportionality is significant
![Page 6: Significant Disproportionality and CEIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814f52550346895dbcf811/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How does WV defineSignificant Disproportionality
1. Cell size = 202. Relative Risk Ratios (RRR)
must be greater than or equal to 3.0
3. Placement and identification are examined
4. Discipline: type, duration, and incidence
5. Consecutive year provision

Additional OSP Business Rules
• No rounding occurs for the resultant RRR. – a RRR of 2.9999 does not trigger consequences for
the district• When fewer than 20 students in a single
minority group are identified as having a disability, placement in an LRE, or assigned OSS, ISS, or total removals, the RRR is not required to be calculated– However, OSP may choose to do so to report to
districts for tracking purposes.

Reporting RequirementsCEIS is a new 618 report
Two required reporting mechanisms:
1. LEA Application
CEIS program description
Total number of students who received CEIS during the school year
Total number of students who received CEIS in prior school years and who later qualified for special education and/or related services
2. WVEISweb Intervention Screens
Identifies students by WVEIS number
Specify only students who received CEIS during the prior school year

Why is Significant Disproportionality Important?
• More likely to be assigned to segregated classrooms or placements
• More likely to be assigned long term suspensions
• Have limited access to inclusive and general educational environments
• Experience higher dropout rates and low academic performance
• Often exposed to substandard and less rigorous curricula
• May be missclassified or inappropriately labeled

Why is SignificantDisproportionality Important?
• May receive services that do not meet their needs; and
• Are less likely than their white counterparts to return to general education classrooms.

• Are more likely to become dropouts or receive a certificate of attendance and/or experience– High unemployment rates– Lack of preparation for the workforce– Difficulty in gaining access to
postsecondary education

Other factors that may contribute to Significant Disproportionality:
• Language• Intrinsic deficits

• Assumptions about intelligence• Wait-to-fail model• Research to practice gap
