Initial Evaluation & Eligibility for Special Education Services

Evaluation

Within 45 calendar days of receipt of the signed Consent to Evaluate, the evaluator(s) will complete the evaluation.

The evaluation is completed when each evaluator(s) has administered all test instruments, scored the test protocols, written the report, and the primary evaluator has emailed notifying the school’s Special Education Contact Teacher and Special Education Specialist (SES) that the evaluation is complete in the IEP software system. The primary evaluator will document the Evaluation Completion Date in the IEP software system.

The case manager will complete the Notice of Meeting. When the Notice of Meeting is created, the meeting purpose should reflect "to discuss recent evaluation" and "to develop an initial IEP (if appropriate)", if the IEP team may convene immediately following the Eligibility Determination Meeting.

All parent contacts related to Notice of Meeting must be documented in the Contact Log.
