Welcome to the State of Missouri’s SPP/APR stakeholder information page. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA) established the State Performance Plan (SPP) which is a series of special education “indicators” that measure the state’s and each LEA’s services and results for students with disabilities.

The Office of Special Education works with stakeholders to set annual targets, or goals, for how the state and LEAs should perform on these indicators. Use the following information to become familiar with the indicators.

Please view our general Overview video prior to the indicators. The presentation with notes are available.

The previous SPP/APR Indicator resources have been temporarily removed as we prepare for the release of updated materials for the 2026-2027 school year. New SPP/APR Indicator packages, reflecting the updated Indicators and current guidance, will be posted as soon as they become available. Please check back soon.
