Timeline for eligibility report

[Anonymous]

When you met to kick off the triennial, the school should have had an Analysis of existing data meeting. During this meeting, you sit around with the IEP team and discuss what testing needs to be done.
After the AED meeting, the school should have sent you form that you signed authorizing testing. If you do not have this form, reach out to the school and ask for them to send it to you along with the meeting minutes from the AED.
To determine if a child is eligible, a child needs to be accessed in ALL areas where there is a concern. So maybe the Speech therapist does an assessment, the OT does a separate assessment, the psychologist creates a report based on CURRENT IQ test and something like a Woodcock-Johnson test of achievement. (I am not a professional - just a parent - and these were the names of assessments given to my child). The final report should include a section header "Procedures and Tests Administered" and may say - review of student work samples classroom observation, teacher interviews, review of records, the name of the assessment and the date it was given.

The report should report out the percentile where your child scored on these standardized tests. If they do not have this, question how decisions can be made with regard to getting an understanding if a student's needs have changed.

Do you have last years "PARCC" scores? Do these align with the report card? And the percentiles from the testing?
Reach out to the current teacher and ask if MAP was administered this year. Ask for the report.
We were at a DCPS (as well as a charter) and unless you asked explicitly for these records, they did not share them.
For the work samples, if they were evaluated for the report, you should have access to them. Ask for copies of all work that was reviewed to create the report.
If I was in your shoes, I would hone in on the parts of the reports that you do not think are your child. Just keep asking for how they came up with that, why was this not discussed before - play it out like it is really your child. If they are saying behavior issues in the report, was a specific assessment done by a social worker?
Make them stop the meeting and issue a new report - they are going to try and push this through because they need to complete it in the required timeframe and it sounds like they are right at the deadline. There is a tracking database maintained by OSSE that measures if students have the evaluations in a timely manner.
