When states filed their FFY06 Annual Performance Reports (APR) with the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) on February 1, 2008, they were informed that OSEP would be providing a status report of OSEP's review of the APR and allowing states an opportunity to respond to the status report before final determinations were made by OSEP based upon the results of the APR. 

On April 7, 2008, OSEP provided all states with their preliminary review and allowed states one week to respond.  Missouri reviewed OSEP's status report and submitted a response on April 14, 2008.  As a result of the response, the APR originally submitted on February 1, 2008, has been revised for Indicators 11 and 12.  No changes were made to the State Performance Plan (SPP) submitted on February 1.  These documents are posted at http://dese.mo.gov/divspeced/DataCoord/ (under Data Reports - Part B).
