Updating a process stage

The process stage identifies a student's current stage in the special education process. The student's process stage appears on the Special Education Summary section of his or her profile in SESIS.

If the student's last Individualized Education Program (IEP) was not completed in SESIS, the process stage may not be correct. Individuals may correct the process stage by creating the correct Notice of IEP Meeting document.

Important: If the IEP document has already been created (draft or finalized), the individual may not follow this procedure. The SESIS Help Desk must handle the correction.
