• Beginning with 2006-2007 school year, dispute resolution data (table 4 or table 7) is reported under section 618 of IDEA '04. Westat oversees this data collection which is due each year on November 1st. For more information please go to www.ideadata.org.
• CADRE has developed error checking software for Table 7 (Part B) and Table 4 (Part C) dispute resolution data reporting. The error checkers can be accessed below. A tutorial on the use of the error checking software is available at http://www.directionservice.org/cadre/table7tour.cfm.
• The latest versions of Table 7 instructions are available through the OSEP website by clicking here (MS Word) or here (PDF).
• The latest versions of Table 4 instructions are available through the OSEP website by clicking here (MS Word) or here (PDF).

NOTE: The Error Checking Worksheet is an Excel document that contains macros. In order to use these error checkers you must save the file to your computer and then open it in Excel. If your macro security setting in Excel is "high" or "very high", or “disable all macros without notification" (Office 2007) the macros may be disabled upon opening. This will limit the functionality of the error checker. Please adjust the macro security settings to "medium" or “disable all macros with notification.” This should allow complete functionality of the Error Checking Worksheet.

If you have any questions, or need assistance with the error checker, please contact us.
