To know how best to address the needs of these students, the school by necessity needs to know which children have special needs. Also, to appropriately disaggregate data on the state assessment (M‑Step/MME) and to measure adequate yearly progress (AYP), schools must further identify children by gender, ethnicity, and their status as economically disadvantaged, disabled, and/or limited‑English proficient.
