SPPI 13: Measure

State Performance Plan Indicator (SPPI) 13 measures the percent of youth with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) aged 16 and above with an IEP that includes:

• appropriate measurable postsecondary goals that are annually updated and based upon an age-appropriate transition assessment;
• transition services, including courses of study, that will reasonably enable the student to meet those postsecondary goals; and
• annual IEP goals related to the student's transition needs.

There also must be evidence that the student was invited to the IEP Team meeting where transition services are to be discussed and evidence that, if appropriate, a representative of any participating agency was invited to the IEP Team meeting with the prior consent of the parent or student who has reached the age of majority.

SPPI 13: Data Source

Local education agencies submit secondary transition IEP compliance data through the SPPI 13 online application in the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL).
