Goal #2: Students with disabilities will be integrated with their nondisabled peers throughout their educational experience.

Five key performance indicators established for this goal are to:

1. Increase the percentage of preschool students with disabilities receiving special education services in settings which include nondisabled children.

Objective: The percentage of preschool students receiving special education services (pursuant to Section 4410 of Education Law) in integrated settings will approximately equal the percentage of school-age students in integrated settings.

2. Increase the percentage of school-age students with disabilities receiving services in general education buildings.

Objective: The percentage of school-age students with disabilities receiving services in general education buildings will reach the national average.

3. Increase the percentage of school-age students with disabilities receiving special education services in general class placements.*

Objective: The percentage of school-age students with disabilities in general education classrooms will exceed the national average.

*General class is the provision of services with general education students for 80% to 100% of the school day.

Note: This objective will be revised to reflect revised data analysis.

4. Classify fewer students as needing special education services.

Objective: The percentage of school-age students classified and provided special education services will decrease.

5. Increase the percentage of school-age students with disabilities participating in occupational education programs.

Objective: The percentage of students receiving special education services and who participate in occupational education programs will be equal to the percentage of their nondisabled peers participating in such programs.
