General Information - SPP Indicator 12

Data Collection  

The data collection period is July 1 to June 30 of each year.  Report all children who have been served in Part C (ECI) and referred to Part B for Part B eligibility regardless of when the district receives the referral from Part C (ECI).

Data Source and Collection Schedule 

All districts are required to report data into the SPP 12 application. Access it by logging in through TEAL.

Every district must have a complete and certified status regardless of whether the district has data to enter.
