State Performance Plan

The State Performance Plan (SPP) is designed to evaluate the state's efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of Part B and Part C, respectively, and to describe how the state will improve its implementation. Each state is required to report annually to the public and to the Office of Special Education Programs on each local education agency's and Part C program's performance on the targets in the SPP through an Annual Performance Report (APR).

Previous Reports. The Maine DOE make APR and SPP reports from the past eight years available to the public.
