We are new to the district and my child has an IEP. Who do I contact?

Contact your neighborhood school principal.  Staff at the school will schedule a team meeting with you to review the IEP.

Who can give consent for a student’s educational program?

The natural biological parent(s), adoptive parent(s), legal guardian(s), or a state-appointed educational advocate if no other legal guardian is available. 

What is the timeline for the general education intervention process?

There is no rule of thumb for a timeline. The area(s) of concern and the nature of the interventions attempted will be the determining factors. The team will develop a plan that includes a timeline appropriate for each student. If it appears that the interventions involve intense or sustained resources, or if the team suspects the child may have an exceptionality, the team must make a referral for an initial evaluation.
