Quick Reference Guide on Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS)

What are Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services?IDEA regulations guiding the mandatory provision of Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS) were revised in 2016. These regulations require local school systems (LSS) identified by the State as having significant disproportionality based on race or ethnicity to reserve 15 percent of IDEA Part B Section 611 and Section 619 funds to implement a comprehensive system of proactive and responsive actions to address root cause factors contributing to significant disproportionality with respect to identification, placement, and/or disciplinary removals. CCEIS is defined by regulations at 34 CFR §300.646(d).

What activities are included in CCEIS?CCEIS activities funded under Part B include:

Providing educational and behavioral evaluations, services, and supports, including evidence based literacy instruction (see 34 CFR §300.226(b)).

Providing professional development and educational and behavioral evaluations, services, and supports (see 34 CFR §300.646 (d)(1)(i)).

In addition, the local system must:

Address the factors contributing to the significant disproportionality (34 CFR §300.646 (d)(1)(ii)); and

Address a policy, practice, or procedure identified by the LSS as contributing to the significant disproportionality (34 CFR §300.646 (d)(1)(iii)).

What are some general considerations for local CCEIS Plan Development?

Utilize the support of the MSDE, DEI/SES Liaison for technical assistance in developing and implementing the local system CCEIS plan.

Build systemic awareness and the leadership supports necessary to implement organizational change and promote sustainability.

iii

Page 4: Quick Reference Guide on Comprehensive Coordinated Early ...  · Web viewIDEA regulations guiding the mandatory provision of Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services

Identify and convene a local system team representing both special and general education to meet regularly to determine critical planning, development, and evaluation of improvement processes.

Establish a diverse stakeholder group inclusive of external and internal partners in order to develop an understanding of disproportionality and the conditions resulting in the local systems identification as significantly disproportionate.

Engage in a self-assessment/data review process to determine the root cause factors creating the area(s) of significant disproportionality.

Use the root cause factors to plan for proactive and responsive actions necessary to increase equity and decrease disproportionality at the district, school, and/or classroom level.

Consider implementation drivers: staffing, training, ongoing coaching and consultation, staff performance evaluation, data systems that support decision making, progress monitoring, implementation with fidelity, and effective evaluation.

Identify a structure of professional learning experiences that builds the capacity of local general and special education personnel who are engaged in the day to day implementation of change efforts.

Develop a system for evaluation of plan outcomes that emphasizes teacher/staff fidelity of implementation as well as student outcomes.

Complete the Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS) Plan.

Align projected expenditures with CCEIS Plan outcomes.

Share a draft of the local CCEIS Plan with the MSDE, DEI/SES Liaison prior to obtaining signatures to gain constructive feedback and support in its development, implementation, and evaluation.

Reserved FundsIn accordance with 34 CFR §300.646 and federal guidance Significant Disproportionality (Equity in IDEA) Essential Questions and Answers (March 2017), any local system identified as having significant disproportionality must reserve 15% of its federal Part B allocation to provide comprehensive coordinated early intervening services (CCEIS), to address root causes of the significant disproportionality. The reserved funds must be calculated on the basis of both the local system’s Part B 611 (611 funds) and Part B 619 (619 funds) total combined passthrough funds. However, a local system retains full flexibility regarding whether the reservation is made with 611 funds, 619 funds, or both.

Use Table 1 to identify the amounts reserved from each source. In the first section, enter the total allocated 611 and 619 funds as noted on the SFY 2021 Local Allocation Sheet. Enter the reserved 611 funds and 619 funds as noted on the SFY 2021 Local Allocation Sheet in the “State Calculated” section. Enter the amount of 611 funds and 619 funds the system will use for the CCEIS plan in the “Local System” section. Please note, if planning to

Root Cause Analysis Conduct a root cause analysis of factors that contribute to each category of analysis or over multiple categories of analysis for significant disproportionality. Contributing factors may include, among other identified factors, a lack of access to evidence-based instruction; economic, cultural, or linguistic barriers to appropriate identification or placement in particular educational settings; inappropriate use of disciplinary removals; lack of access to appropriate diagnostic screenings; differences in academic achievement levels; and/or policies, practices, or procedures that contribute to the significant disproportionality.

In Table 4, summarize the analysis of local data trends in order to identify the root cause by considering factors such as race and culturally based-beliefs, inconsistent implementation of systemic/school-based procedures, and access to evidence-based instructional academic/behavioral practices. Provide evidence or data supporting the root cause determination as well as the Planned Response Action (PRA) necessary to address the root cause. Please add additional lines, if necessary.

Planned Response Actions are described in detail within Table 5.

SUBSTITUTE TEACHER SALARIES: Systems may budget for general education substitute teachers to help carry out activities funded by CCEIS, including providing opportunities for teachers to participate in professional development and other related to CCEIS activities.

TRAVEL (STAFF): Travel costs must be generated as a result of implementing activities funded by CCEIS, such as professional development.

TUTORS: A system may hire or contract with individuals or organizations for tutoring services to carry out CCEIS activities. Tutors may: participate in or provide professional development to enable teachers and other school staff to deliver scientifically based academic and behavioral interventions, and, if appropriate, the use of adaptive and instructional software; support, reinforce or follow-up on the provision of educational and behavioral services provided by and under the supervision of an appropriately licensed general education teacher.

COMPUTING DEVICES: CCEIS funds may be used to purchase computers, laptops, touch screen devices, etc., if the devices will be used primarily for the delivery of academic or behavioral interventions in an established multi-level system of supports. Note: The local system must track these devices and ensure that their usage aligns with the local system’s activities as reported in the approved CCEIS Plan narrative and budget.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS: Instructional materials purchased with CCEIS funds must be exclusively used for delivering academic or behavioral interventions to students who, through a universal screening process, have been determined to be struggling. Note: CCEIS funds may not be used to purchase materials used in the core instructional program intended for all students.

SOFTWARE (Instructional): Software purchased with CCEIS funds must be exclusively used in the delivery of academic or behavioral intervening services, which includes instruction and progress monitoring. Note: CCEIS funds may not be used to purchase software used in the core instructional program nor universal screening intended for all students. Computer software used for CCEIS often include a universal screening function along with interventions for the students who are identified as needing Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports. The universal screening aspect of such software is unallowable, and the local system must be able to determine what portion of the cost of the software is

PSYCHOLOGIST SALARIES – SCHOOL BASED: Examples of activities that may be funded include a school psychologist’s efforts to implement behavioral interventions, progress monitoring, other CCEIS evaluations, and related professional development. School psychologists may not deliver reading or math instruction under CCEIS funding unless they also hold the appropriate license to deliver reading or math instruction.

allocable to CCEIS funding, dividing the cost or the program can be funded through CCEIS and what has to be absorbed by the local system. If the local system is unable to make this determination, then the cost is unallowable.

BUDGET ITEM

SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER SALARIES:Note: Special education staff may not be funded with CCEIS dollars to deliver special education to students. Special Education Teachers may be compensated through CCEIS to deliver Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions to students needing such interventions. In such instances, proper time and effort records must be kept.

ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION: CCEIS funds may not be used for alternative or at-risk programming that replaces universal/core programming. CCEIS funds may be used only in programming that provides interventions in addition to universal/core programming.BUS, VAN or OTHER STUDENT TRANSPORTATION COSTS: Not allowed.

CORE CURRICULUM: Universal/core activities are designed to provide high quality instruction to all students in a grade, school, or local system. These activities may not be funded with CCEIS dollars. CCEIS funds may be used to fund supplemental academic and behavioral interventions for students determined to need additional academic and behavioral supports to succeed in general education.FURNITURE: Desks, tables, chairs, file cabinets, and other furniture not allowed.

EVALUATIONS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATIONS: Evaluations, including outside evaluations, for determining eligibility for special education services are not considered part of the delivery of academic or behavioral interventions and thus may not be funded with CCEIS reserved. Costs of special education referrals and evaluations are eligible costs under IDEA flow-through.OCCUPATIONAL OR PHYSICAL THERAPIST SALARIES: OT and PT are related services and may be provided only to students with disabilities in accordance with an IEP, 504 or service plan.

OFFICE EQUIPMENT: Not allowed.

PHYSICAL OR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST SALARIES: OT and PT are related services provided to students with disabilities in accordance with an IEP or service plan. CCEIS may only be used to serve students who have been determined to need Tier 2 or Tier 3 academic or behavioral interventions.RENT or OCCUPANCY COSTS: Rent or occupancy costs do not meet the criteria for the utilization of CCEIS reserved funds.

TRANSPORTATION – STUDENT: Student transportation does not meet the criteria for the utilization of CCEIS reserved funds.

UNIVERSAL SCREENING COSTS: CCEIS funds may not be used for activities intended to provide high quality instruction to an entire class or school. Universal screening is part of the core instructional program provided to all students and not principally intended to address the needs of students without disabilities who require additional academic and behavioral support to succeed in a general education environment.

Appendix EE- CCEIS Plan Progress Reporting GuidanceComprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS)

The local system must use funds reserved for comprehensive CEIS to identify and address the factors contributing to the significant disproportionality in the local system for the identified category. These factors may include a lack of access to scientifically based instruction; economic, cultural, or linguistic barriers to appropriate identification or placement in particular educational settings; inappropriate use of disciplinary removals; lack of access to appropriate diagnostic screenings; differences in academic achievement levels; and other similar policies, practices, or procedures that contribute to the significant disproportionality. This requirement is fundamental to the use of funds reserved for CCEIS , and it carries with it a practical limitation: A local system may use CCEIS funds for training and professional development and behavioral evaluations and supports, such as functional behavioral assessments, behavioral intervention plans, and positive behavioral interventions and supports, but only to the extent that it is doing so to address the factors identified by the local system as contributing to the significant disproportionality identified by the State.

CCEIS may be provided to children with or without disabilities age 3 through grade 12, particularly, but not exclusively, children in those groups who were significantly over-identified. (See 34 CFR §300.646(d)(2).) CCEIS activities cannot be limited to only children with disabilities.

Further, the local system must address any policy, practice, or procedure it identifies as contributing to the significant disproportionality, including any that result in a failure to identify, or the inappropriate identification of, a racial or ethnic group or groups. The local system has discretion as to how best to address the policy, practice, or procedure, including by eliminating, revising or changing how it is implemented, as long as it does so in a manner consistent with the requirements of the IDEA and its implementing regulations. (See 34 C.F.R. §300.646(d)(1)(iii).)

Local System TeamThe local-system team is responsible for the development, data input/root cause analysis, implementation, and oversight of the local system CCEIS Plan. The local system team is empowered to make decisions and is responsible for translating vision into practice. Required members of the local system team include:

Director of Special Education; Local Chief Academic Officer or Assistant Superintendent of Instruction; Local Finance Officer/Representative; Data Manager; and Relevant members of local leadership with responsibilities aligned to CCEIS Plan.

Appendix – Page 14

Page 36: Quick Reference Guide on Comprehensive Coordinated Early ...  · Web viewIDEA regulations guiding the mandatory provision of Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services

Required CCEIS Tracking and Reporting The local system is required to report the following data points to the MSDE, DEI/SES:

The amount of Part B Section 611 and 619 funds allocated to the local system;

The area(s) of significant disproportionality;

The number of children receiving CCEIS during the reference school year. The local system is responsible for capturing and maintaining student-level CCEIS data inclusive of type of intervening service, focus area, start and end dates, and status relative to special education;

The number of children receiving CCEIS that received special education during the reference school year and the two preceding school years including the date special education services began, the primary disability category based on initial evaluation/IEP, and the educational environment based on the initial IEP;

The number of personnel participating in professional development funded by CCEIS. Each local system is responsible for documenting the topics, expenditures, and individual participants for professional development funded by CCEIS; and

All fiscal expenditures aligned with the CCEIS plan of services and related activities.

The local system must demonstrate the ability to reliably track each school-level, provider-level, and student-level CCEIS data including expenditures.

The MSDE, DEI/SES must report to the federal government:

The number of local systems in the state implementing CCEIS;

The area(s) where each local system is significantly disproportionate;

The number of schools providing CCEIS in each local system;

The number of children receiving CCEIS in each local system; and

All fiscal expenditures aligned with the CCEIS plan of services and related activities.

The MSDE, DEI/SES must be able to verify that each local system can reliably track school-level, provider-level, and student-level CCEIS data including expenditures.

MSDE, DEI/SES CCEIS Plan Progress ReportThe MSDE, DEI/SES CCEIS Plan Progress Report is structured to meet federal reporting requirements and State expectations for the implementation of policies, procedures, and practices that effectively address factors contributing to significant disproportionality in the identification, placement, and/or discipline of students with disabilities within the local system. In addition to the tracking of school-level, provider-level, and student-level CCEIS data including expenditures, the MSDE, DEI/SES CCEIS Plan Progress Report examines the local system’s planned response actions directed at changing outcomes related to significant disproportionality. This process is grounded in a thoughtful assessment of strategic improvement actions, data – driven decision making, and the system’s efforts to build local capacity.

Instructions Complete all requests for data. Provide fiscal and programmatic data specific to the reporting period. Utilize the available drop-down menus for the completion of information in the local

system’s CCEIS Plan Progress Report. Reference data that is reflective of the targeted schools and populations identified in
