Subject: December 3, 2007, Count of Children
with Disabilities (Screen 11)
Source: Mary Corey, Director, Data Coordination
Intended Audience: Special Education personnel responsible for data
reporting
Date: November 6, 2007
Special Education December 3, 2007, child count data must be entered on
Screen 11 of Core Data no later than December 15, 2007. Students must have
an IEP in place and be receiving services on December 1 to be included in
this count. Please note the following:
1) Several technical assistance documents, including updated reporting
guidelines and Q&A are available at
http://www.dese.mo.gov/divspeced/DataCoord/Childcount.html.
2) Elementary (K-8) districts should NOT report their high school students
who are attending school in a different district. These students should be
reported by the high school district. Early Childhood Special Education
students should be reported by the district of residence, not by the
district providing the services (with exception for St. Louis County
districts).
3) Component districts of the St. Louis Special School District should
contact SSD if they have questions about the building level reporting;
however, please note that the component district will need to add the LEP
data to Screen 11.
4) The MOSIS Student Core submission is required this December for use in
creating MAP barcode labels. We will be doing cross-checks between the Core
Data Special Education child count and the MOSIS submissions, so try to
ensure that all students with disabilities reported on child count are
included in the MOSIS submission, including early childhood special
education students and parentally-placed private school students. As we work
through this process this year, we will address common issues and questions
and make technical assistance available to all districts. Information about
MOSIS can be found at
http://dese.mo.gov/MOSIS/.
If you have questions regarding this collection, please contact the Special
Education Data Coordination section at 573-526-0299 or
