This plan is called the Part B and has 20 indicators. The State Performance Plan (SPP is required to be posted on the states website.

What is the Annual Performance Report (APR)
In addition, each state reports annually to the public on the performance of each of its local educational agencies according to the targets in its SPP. The state also reports annually to the Secretary on its performance in meeting its SPP targets. This report is called the Part B Annual Performance Report (APR), this report must also be posted on the state's website.

The State must report annually to the public and OSEP on the State’s performance on each target for all 20 of the indicators in the SPP. APRs are due to OSEP by February 1 of each year. Furthermore the State must also report annually to the public on each local educational agency’s (LEA) performance on the targets for the first 14 indicators.
