What is the purpose of an annual report?
The advisory panel should submit an annual report to the State Education Agency. The annual report is an extremely important document. It outlines advice to the State on the priority areas that were addressed by the panel during the year. This report serves to apprise State officials and the public of the activities conducted by the panel during the year. It delineates those areas of need within a State that are viewed as priorities in the education of children with disabilities. The report serves to provide advice to the State regarding the development of policy procedures needed to support the education of children with disabilities.
