The Special Education End-of-Year Student collection is required to obtain data on students who were referred, evaluated, or received special education services throughout the school year.ย Information is also collected on students who received services in an eligible facility or were tuitioned to an in-state or out-of-state non-public school program or public agency. The data collected includes information on exits from special education, part C evaluations, and the services students in special education are receiving.
For questions or support, please email submissions_CSI@csi.state.co.us.ย

IC School Extraction: We have an update for schools experiencing an issue where the End Date is populating with the IEP End Date on the Participation file. Schools are encouraged to add the current date as the End Date in the file extraction prompts.ย The system defaults to 06/30/2023 but if the current date is added, all information will pull in accurately with a zero filled exit date where applicable.ย
