SPPI 7: Data Source
SPPI 7 data are collected through the Special Education Data System (SPEDS) Summer submission in the Texas Student Data System (TSDS). Local educational agencies (LEAs) use the Early Childhood Outcome Center's Child Outcomes Summary (COS) Process and the Child Outcomes Summary (COS) Form to document children's functioning in three outcome areas.
