A student participating in the special education program should be reevaluated every three years. Before beginning the reevaluation process, you must notify the parents.
Steps
To notify the parents:- Create a Prior Written Notice for Reevaluation.
- Provide information about the proposed reevaluation.
- Enter in contact information.
- Fill out the Date Sent field.
- Mark the document complete.
- Share the document with the parents.
Once you have notified the parents, you can begin conducting a review of existing data to determine if more data is needed.
Steps
To conduct a review of existing evaluation data:- Create a Review of Existing Evaluation Data Report.
- Summarize all information reviewed.
- Make a determination about whether additional data is needed.
- If additional data is not needed, make a determination about the student's eligibility.
- Mark the document complete.
If it is determined that additional data is not needed and the student continues to be eligible, the team may begin with a plan review. If additional data is needed, another evaluation will need to be completed.
Before reevaluating the student, you will need to obtain parental consent to reevaluate the student within 10 days of the REED.
Steps
To obtain parent consent:- Create a Request For Consent for a Reevaluation.
- Fill out the document and share it with the parents.
- The parents can then fill the document out with their consent decision and add their signature.
- Once the parents respond, a staff member can fill out the Date of Receipt field and mark the document complete.
If the parents consent to a reevaluation, the Reevaluation Report will need to be completed within 60 days.
Steps
To conduct a reevaluation:- Create a Reevaluation Report.
