Annual IEP Review

While a student is receiving special education services, you’ll need to review their IEP annually to ensure the student’s needs are still being met.

1. Send a Notice of ARD Committee Meeting and indicate the purpose of the meeting is to develop, review, and/or revise the student's IEP or to determine eligibility for special education services if you're doing an eligibility review.
2. Create a new Individualized Education Program for the student. You can create a new IEP from scratch or by copying an existing IEP to a new document.
   • When copying an IEP from a previous year, several of the fields will copy over and will already be pre-populated, which can help save time.
3. Fill out and complete the IEP.
   • Select "Annual Review".
   • If you created the document from scratch, fill it out as per your district's workflow.
   • If you copied from an existing document, review any fields that were copied over and fill out the remaining empty fields.
4. Create a "Prior Written Notice" and state the purpose is to "propose" to "initiate" or "change" the "identification of the child", the "educational placement of the child", or the "provision of a free appropriate public education to the child".
   • When this document is completed, there will be no more deadlines for the student for special education until the next year when you'll need to complete another annual review.
