	The U.S. Department of Education (ED) requires states to identify school districts whose data show significant racial disproportionality in special education for three consecutive years. The purpose is to ensure students of all races receive appropriate and equitable supports in the least restrictive environment. A wide body of research has demonstrated that over-identification and exclusionary placement or discipline may affect students’ long-term outcomes. The federal rules for significant disproportionality went into effect May 20, 2019.

			Once again, you can click on the '''question mark''' to show the ''Categories of Analysis.''
			[[File:Sigdis10.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]

			One of the first things you will want to do is to filter out anything with an '''N''' under ''Ratio Used.''


			'''N''' is No Ratio Used. This means it is not taken into consideration for ''Significant Disproportionality.''


			They didn't have a minimum number of 10 students in the target numerator, or cell size, or a minimum number of 30 students in the target denominator, N-size, for a calculation to be performed on this particular ''Category of Analysis'' for this particular race.


			To filter out '''N''', select the '''R''' and/or the '''A''' if it's available.
			[[File:Sigdis11.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			Once you filtered out '''N''', you will now see the results for the categories that had enough data to perform a ''Risk Ratio'' calculation.
			[[File:Sigdis12.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			You can then filter even further by the ''Ratio Range.'' Any relevant risk ratio that is ''4.0000 and above'' is red, which means that this ''category/race'' combination is over the threshold for that school year.


			When three consecutive school years for a ''category/race'' combination exceeds the threshold, then that is what makes up a determination.
			[[File:Sigdis13.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			Anything from ''3.2001-3.9999'' is orange. While these are not over the threshold, these are results of concern as they may need attention in the future to avoid crossing the 4.0000 threshold.
			[[File:Sigdis14.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			Use the '''control + click''' to select multiple ranges at once.
			[[File:Sigdis15.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			In the ''Details'' section, you can sort any of the columns by clicking the '''arrow''' in each column.
			[[File:Sigdis16.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			Once again, you can use the drop-down '''arrows''' in the ''Filter'' section to filter your results at any time.
			[[File:Sigdis17.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			To clear a ''Filter'' section, click the '''erase''' button.
			[[File:Sigdis18.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			Once you have your desired results in the ''Details'' section, you can go to more options and export the data to Excel.
			[[File:Sigdis19.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			Click on the '''ellipsis''' and click '''Export Data.'''
			[[File:Sigdis20.png\|none\|thumb\|962x962px]]


			Click '''Export.'''

			If you are needing to export multiple sets of data, remember to come back and use the '''eraser''' button in each filter category to start from scratch.

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) requires states to identify school districts whose data show significant racial disproportionality in special education for three consecutive years. The purpose is to ensure students of all races receive appropriate and equitable supports in the least restrictive environment. A wide body of research has demonstrated that over-identification and exclusionary placement or discipline may affect students’ long-term outcomes. The federal rules for significant disproportionality went into effect May 20, 2019.

For instructions on how to utilize the ''Significant Disproportionality Report'' in I-Star, see the instructions below.

Your district's report will open in a new tab.
[[File:Sigdis1.png|none|thumb|962x962px]]

If your district has determinations, they will appear on this opening screen.

You can change the ''Determination Year'' by clicking the drop-down '''arrow''' or if you are a coop with multiple districts, you can also use the drop-down '''arrow''' to filter out specific ''District Names.''

[[File:Sigdis2.png|none|thumb|962x962px]]

You can clear your filters at any time by clicking the '''eraser''' icon.

Use the drop-down '''arrows''' to filter ''School Year, Race,'' and ''District Name.''
[[File:Sigdis6.png|none|thumb|962x962px]]

You are able to filter through ''Category Group'' of '''Discipline, Identification,''' or '''Placement.'''

Hover over the '''question mark''' to find an explanation of the ''Categories of Analysis.''
[[File:Sigdis7.png|none|thumb|962x962px]]

Click the ''Category'' you wish for the data to display below.

You can use '''control + click''' to choose more than one ''Category Group.''
