These indicators cover areas such as early childhood growth and achievement, least restrictive environment, statewide assessment, parent involvement, and secondary transition. To learn more about the indicators or to review past reports, please visit the Department’s SPP/APR webpage. https://hawaiipublicschools.org/data-reports/state-reports/state-performance-plan-annual-performance-report/
