Comparison of All Waves Data Tables
Overview. The Study of
State and Local Implementation and Impact of the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act, SLIIDEA, has been designed as a
national assessment to examine how the changes in the 1997 IDEA
amendments are affecting states, districts, and schools, as well
as infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities and
their families. The Wave 2-Data Tables represent the responses
from states, districts, and schools collected during the 2002-2003
School Year. A census of states and a nationally representative
sample for Wave 2 data collection included 50 states plus D.C.,
959 districts and 4,448 schools. Response rates for states,
districts and schools surveys were 100 percent, 86 percent, and 74
percent, respectively.
The data presented here, in the Data Tables, are based on
responses from the following surveys: State
Questionnaire; District Questionnaire; and School Questionnaire. In
each table, the descriptive findings are reported by the percent
of districts or schools, along with the standard error. All states
plus the District of Columbia are included in the state sample,
comprising a state census. Each state table, therefore, presents
only the percentage.
The discussion of the findings from these tables will appear in
the upcoming report, The 2nd Interim Report on the Study of
State and Local Implementation of IDEA - Summer 2004. The
"source note" at the bottom of each table indicates the
survey item(s).
Search. There are two ways to access Wave 2 data tables: (1) Select
one of the three levels of data -- state, school district, or
school -- and see categories and subcategories of data tables
under each level; or (2) Select a keyword and see state, school
district, and school tables that are associated with the keyword.
Search by Category. Indicate which
level of data you are interested in: State, School District, or School.
Search by Keyword. Select from the following list of key words to see
State, School District, and School tables associated with each keyword:
Technical Note. Except for
conditional findings, each survey item adds to 100 percent. When
conditional questions were asked on the survey, we report these
findings as conditional of those state, districts, or schools that
indicated "yes" as the response to the survey item. The
denominator for the conditional items was the number of states,
districts or schools that reported "yes," and not of all
states, districts, or schools that responded to a particular item.
Here is an example of how a conditional response has been
reported: Thirty-nine percent of states reported that they
rewarded districts or schools on the basis of student performance.
Of these states, 11 percent considered the performance of students
with IEPs when making this determination. (See State
Exhibit 1.9.) In this example, 39 percent represents the
number of states that reported yes, they reward districts or
schools for student performance, divided by the number of states
that responded to the question on rewards. Eleven percent
represents a subset of the 39 percent of states, and is thus, a
conditional percentage of 39 percent. On the other hand, if one
wanted to know the unconditional percentage - that is, how many
states considered the performance of students with IEPs when
determining a reward to districts and schools - one would multiple
11 percent by 39 percent by 100 to equal 4 percent (.11x .39 = .04
x 100 = 4 percent).
And finally, in each exhibit, we present the "Missing
N" and "Total N." We used the following criteria
for determining each of these numbers:
- Missing N: The number of states, districts, or
schools that had a missing or invalid response for the survey
item.
- Total N: The number of states, districts, or schools
providing a valid response to the item.
