The Parent Involvement Survey (Indicator 8) in Kentucky is a federally required measure under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Its purpose is to assess the percentage of parents who report that schools facilitated their involvement in improving services and results for children with disabilities.
The Kentucky Post School Outcomes Center (KYPSO) is the Kentucky Department of Education’s (KDE) contractor for the annual Parent Involvement Survey. KYPSO develops and distributes the survey, collects and analyzes the data, and reports findings for the state’s Annual Performance Report (APR) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Indicator 8.
