IDEA Graduation - Indicator 1
Graduation is an indicator that is on the Special Education Profile for each public school district. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) established a set of indicators to measure both compliance and outcomes for children with disabilities. In Ohio, the Department of Education and Workforce collaborates with stakeholders to set annual targets, or goals, for each of these indicators.

Each year, districts receive a Special Education Profile that shows their progress toward meeting goals for students with disabilities. The profile is designed to help districts use data to support continuous improvement in their special education programs by focusing on procedural compliance, academic growth, and student outcomes. The profile also notifies districts and community schools of any findings of noncompliance or required actions needed to demonstrate compliance with IDEA.
