 Additional Information About B-11

• APR Definition: Percent of children who were evaluated within 60 days of receiving parental consent for initial evaluation or, if the State establishes a timeframe within which the evaluation must be conducted, within that timeframe (in Michigan, 30 school days). (20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(B))
• Calculation: [(b) divided by (a)] times 100
• Calculation Notes:
  • a. # of children for whom parental consent to evaluate was received
  • b. # of children whose evaluations were completed within 60 days (or State established timeline – 30 school days)
    
    Account for children included in a but not included in b. Indicate the range of days beyond the timeline when the evaluation was completed and any reasons for the delays.
    
    Percent = [(b) divided by (a)] times 100
