Summary of Performance Report

The MSOP will be generated as a report in the Maryland Online IEP system. The MSOP report pulls the necessary information from the IEP to satisfy the IDEA regulations of providing a summary upon exit. The MSOP report does not require any manual data entry and is accessible in the MD Online IEP system in the Reports section.

The SOP report will be generated and disseminated prior to the student’s exit from public school. This may be completed during a formal Exit Meeting or discussed as part of their annual IEP meeting and then disseminated prior to exiting school.

Beginning with the 2016/2017 school year the Summary of Performance report will officially replace the Exit Document for all Maryland school systems
