Target: 85 percent of preschool students receiving special education services will be served in typical early childhood settings, including home.

  1. The percent of time school-age students with disabilities participate in general education programs.

Target 1: The percentage of students with disabilities, ages 6-21, in general education programs 80 percent or more of the school day will continue to exceed the national average.

Target 2: The percentage of students with disabilities, ages 6-21, in general education programs between 40 and 79 percent of the school day will approximate the national average.
