[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 193248, member: 23"] The eligibility process hasn't changed. Sd's are required by law to evaluate a student to see if they qualify for special education. If the parent has existing reports, letters from doctors, etc., the sd may choose to utilize the parents information rather than go through a formal evaluation process of their own. There is also the option of creating an interim IEP in the event the sd chooses to do their own evaluation. by the way, IEPs do not expire. Your child's IEP would definately need updating because of the length of time he's been out of the public school system. The "evaluation" and "reevaluation" process is the same. In other words, current parent evaluations can be utilized by the IEP team to develop an IEP. A student is a Special Education student until they age out at 22 or until they graduate with a regular high school diploma. I'd do a "letter of understanding" and send it to the sd via Certified Mail -- just in case. The CM will start the clock ticking. [URL="http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/member.php?u=5848"]Superpsy[/URL], there are many school districts that tell parents about school policy controlling special education. I know that some districts train their personnel that "policy" is The Bible. But, it's not true. This type thing can get unsuspecting educators in trouble. Federal law supercedes State law, State law supercedes school district policy. State law and school district policy must parallel Federal law. It's a non-compliance issue if they don't. I think you are doing a good thing reading and interacting on this board, e.g., many educators only use their school district or sd directed education programs as a reference point. in my opinion, wise professionals seek out information from various sources so that they do not get tunnel vision, can expand their knowledge, and understand others' view points.
