triggered for monitoring if the difference between their special education and general
education graduation rates is one standard deviation above the State’s three-year average
benchmark. In 2005-06 school districts triggered on graduation rate for possible monitoring
during 2006.
Using a moving average based on the past four years (2002-2006) of data, Arkansas
FFY 2005
anticipates the percentage to remain steady over the next year at 88%. Additionally, it is
anticipated that less than 2% of the school districts will trigger for monitoring.
In 2006-07, Arkansas anticipates the percentage of youth with IEPs graduating will remain

high school with a regular diploma as established in the State’s accountability workbook is
77%.

special education module as well as the student management system of the Arkansas Public

education who are graduates.

FFY 2009
high school with a regular diploma as established in the State’s accountability workbook is
77%.
