Level III Notification vs. Appeal Decision

[Anonymous]

Hi - I received email notification today from my child's school that they were found eligible for Level III services next year. Child was in pool and denied for Level IV, but I appealed. I am assuming that this Level III notification is separate from the appeal process, and that I will still hear a decision, one way or another, from the appeals committee? I can check in with my AART, but just curious if anyone knew if it was a separate process, or if this notification implies that child was denied on appeal? Thanks!

This is totally separate from appeal process. Notification on appeal decision is June 9.

Thank you!

It’s separate, my kid’s AART sent out an email to me directly the day the level III letter came home indicating it’s a separate process and if the appeal is successful it overrides the level III.

Just curious, which schools have sent level III letters? It’s so frustrating how every elementary does their own thing, except when it’s convenient to blame the county.

Not the OP, Daniels run did.

Do you get these letters if you're at a center school? I heard level III is determined at the end of the year?

OP here - Not a center school. School is Bren Mar Park.

At our non-center school, I was told by the AART:

"We will be screening for school based services at the end of May. If found eligible for services, you will receive a letter in June."

I have children at Marshall Road Elementary in Vienna - they both had level 3 letters in their Tuesday folders yesterday.

Our school sends out level III letters when teachers assignments are sent out in August.

Apparently the schools know the results of the level IV appeals.

Level iii is done at your school. Level iv is done at the county level. They are separate. From what I understand, level iii is school dependent, so it’s not all happening at the same time.
