5 business days to get you the docs prior to the meeting.  If they present docs at the meeting that you did not review in advance, you simply say, "I did not receive these in the 5 day document package.  If you want to discuss these as part of the meeting, we will have to reschedule," and give them 2 times within the next 10 days you can meet.  The onus is then on them to scramble to complete another meeting quickly so they are not out of compliance for very ling.  FWIW, we have found that this approach has resulted in the IEP team prividing all documents in a timely fashion at future meetings. BTW, you should be taping all IEP meetings so that non-compliance is on the record.

30 calendar days to schedule the IEP eleugibility screening meeting.

60 days to schedule the IEP eligibility determination meeting.

No statutory or regulatory timeline to "lock" the IEP.  IME, some IEP teams try to pressure you into signing or not providing comments by saying they must "lockl the IEP.  simply, tell them in writing that you intend to provide X comments or signing statement or whatever and you do nit want the IEP locked until you, as an equal IEP team member, have had a chance to review the document.

Even if they say it has been licked, still provide any materials or statements you want.

If it's something very big that affects the IEP, you can even call an "IEP Review" meeting if you want to provide new data that affects the IEP.
