CT-SEDS is Connecticut’s statewide web-based system for managing special education data and supporting development of adaptive, compliant IEPs. It is provided to local education agencies at no cost, with staff access based on district-assigned roles and permissions. IEP and referral/evaluation modules include compliance rules and warnings during document completion. Additional modules cover services plans, delivery tracking, progress reporting, Section 504 plans, restraint and seclusion, and other special education processes. Student records are held in a document repository, which is copied to a new district when the student’s PSIS enrollment district changes. Parent Connect sends parents email or text links to specific documents, but parents do not log into CT-SEDS. IEPs and other documents can be translated into Connecticut’s ten listed languages and printed in the chosen language when finalized. Reports and a dashboard support indicator and aggregate reporting, with alerts for case managers about upcoming timelines and meetings. A nightly integration exchanges enrollment district, demographic, and facility code data with the Public School Information System. Districts can access the system from Mac and PC computers and mobile devices using current browser technology.
