Hear From State Leadership
Tuesday, November 17, 2026 | 9:30 am – 11:00 am EST
Please join leadership from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce’s (DEW) Office for Exceptional Children for critical information regarding special education requirements, resources, policy matters, and processes. State level data will be shared regarding IDEA indicators and state level projects supporting special education.
This State Update provides short, high-level overviews of several topics including:
- Establishing an Internal Monitoring Team
- Alernate Assessment Decision-Making Tool
- Areas of ETR/IEP Noncompliance and State Complaints for Educational Benefit
- IDEA Fiscal Resource
- RIMPS, Math Plans, and Intervention Intersecting with IEPs
Each of these topics will also be explored in greater depth through dedicated 60-minute sessions offered during OCALICONLINE 2026. If you are interested in learning more beyond the brief morning overview, we encourage you to register for the full conference.
During the Tuesday session, participants will:
- Learn about updates related to state data, how we use data to inform decisions related to state-level activities, resources, and supports to the field.
- Learn about new resources, timeline for adoption of IDEA forms training, benefits of internal IDEA monitoring, and compliant findings.
- Learn about how IEPs intersect with other state plans.
There is no cost to attend the Tuesday morning Special Education State Update but advanced registration is required. Space is limited. This registration is access ONLY for the Tuesday morning session.
