Creating a Request for Reevaluation

A student receiving services mandated by an Individualized Education Program (IEP) must be reevaluated at least once every three years. A reevaluation may occur sooner than three years if necessary.

Referrals for reevaluation may be made under the following circumstances:

Upon the request of the student's parent, guardian, or teacher
If the school district determines that the educational or related services needs, including improved academic achievement and functional performance, warrant a re-evaluation

Important: A reevaluation may occur once per school year without approval. Any subsequent reevaluations per school year must be approved by the principal or Committee on Special Education (CSE) chairperson. In that case, complete an Additional Request for Reevaluation instead.
