Collection of Cyclical Indicators

Indicator 8:  Parental Involvement, Indicator 11: Timely Evaluation, and Indicator 14: Post School Outcomes will be collected from every LEA once during a five year cycle.  These are referred to as the cyclical indicators. Approximately one-fifth of the districts in the state are included in each year’s cohort. Each cohort is representative of the state for pupil enrollment, areas of disability, gender, ethnicity and race. Public agencies with average daily membership of 50,000 or more participate in the collection of these indicators each year.
