If you are making a change to a student's IEP that changes the student's eligibility status, changes their educational placement, or is related to a manifestation determination review, you will need to make a revision to the document.
A revision is very similar to an amendment, but it requires an ARD Committee Meeting.
Steps
Steps to add a revision to a student's IEP:- Since a meeting is required for revisions, you'll need to send a Notice of ARD Committee Meeting.
- The document owner can click on the lock icon and select Amend.
- The Amend option is used for both amendments and revisions.
- At the bottom of the cover page there is an Amendments/Revisions section. For every revision that is made, add a new section by clicking add Amendment/Revision.
- Indicate there is an ARD meeting by entering "Yes" under Meeting.
- Enter in the date of the meeting and the effective date.
- Click add Change, specify which section(s) will be updated, and summarize the change(s) being made.
- Make the necessary changes in the document to reflect the revision section.
- In Section 15, add a new signatures section and have all meeting participants add their signatures.
- Once the necessary edits have been made, re-mark the document complete.
- If the document was previously shared with the parent/guardian, they will retain access after a document has been completed, but once a revision is created, their access will be outdated. You will need to re-share the document with them.
