Fifty-one jurisdictions, one file each, every version permanent.
Each state has one file, numbered in alphabetical order from Alabama, and each released version keeps a permanent URL so that a citation always points to the figures as released. A state page is published only after the state-level bodies it names have received notice and the ten business day window has closed.

How to read one
The order never changes
A state page is rendered from the release package for that version and from nothing else. The sections follow the narrative profile's fixed order, adapted only where a state's structure requires it, with the adaptation stated.
| Section | What it carries |
|---|---|
| Opening line and disclosure | File number, compilation date, publisher of record, the baseline label, the evidence standard in the series formulation, and the disclosure block, even to state that there is nothing to disclose |
| Summary of findings | The findings a reader must not miss, with the summary measures: coverage tallies by code and by entity type, the operator silence counts, and publication against identified population where the state's data supports it |
| Governance and legal framework | The statutes and rules, quoted verbatim with retrieval dates; the eligibility rule and any audiometric threshold; interpreter standards; language acquisition legislation |
| The state school or schools | Operating authority, statutory basis with operative language quoted, funding mechanics, enrollment, residential terms, admission criteria verbatim, leadership, accreditation, and the Deaf and blind boundary decision |
| Communication and language approach | Published philosophies quoted verbatim |
| Outreach, early intervention, and coverage beyond the campus | The statewide layer and the regional and cooperative layer |
| Local education agencies | What every district in frame publishes, one coverage code per agency, with the evidence note and the source |
| The private sector and the market layer | Listening and spoken language providers and private placements; vouchers, scholarships, and education savings accounts, including repealed instruments |
| Data, and what the state does not measure | Every state-level indicator with year and source, and the statement of what is not published |
| Fiscal allocation and legislative context | One row per funding channel with amount, fiscal year, instrument, and citation |
| Open items, notice and correction, sources | What remains unresolved; the bodies noticed, the date, the route, the responses, and every resulting change with its direction; every source, numbered, with access dates |
The same figures either way
The state page shows the summary figures, the coverage tallies, the state indicators, the fiscal totals by channel, the method, the register, the DOI, and the correction route to every reader without charge, and individual district coverage rows are viewable on the page. The full narrative, the workbook, and the verification trail are the licensed file, available under the state file license, to State Partners, and under the national license. A licensed file and the free summary carry the same figures; the tier changes what a reader can download, never what the Index says.
NONE FOUND is a statement about publication, not about service delivery.
Obligations under IDEA are not evidence of a program.
Comments, re-audits, and retractions
Where a body named in the file has commented, the comment appears under the element it concerns, verbatim, with its date and the Index's three-part response, as a dated addendum to the version. The next scheduled re-audit date is shown on every state page. Where a version has been retracted, a retraction notice at the top of that version's permanent page links to the corrected version; nothing is deleted.
Every state page carries the standing correction route, open to every body named in the file, including every local education agency.
