ECSE - Early Childhood Outcomes (ECO)/SPPI 7
State Performance Plan (SPP) Indicator 7
Early Childhood Outcomes
Since the Fall of 2007, all Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in the state of Texas must complete the Child Outcomes Summary (COS) Process for every preschool child (age 3-5 years, not in kindergarten) who qualifies for special education services. This is in accordance with State Performance Plan Indicator 7 (SPPI 7): Preschool Outcomes. School staff must be trained to complete the COS process which assigns a rating of 1-7 for each child compared to typically developing peers in three outcome areas. The COS data will be submitted to the Texas Education Agency through the Special Education Data System (SPEDS) Summer Submission within the Texas Student Data System (TSDS).
