[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IEP calendar continues through the summer. In FCPS (I'm assuming Fairfax?) schools have to follow timelines. See page 71 of this parent  handbook: 
https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/forms/SpecialEducationParentHandbook.pdf

1. Parents make a referral
2. Local Screening meeting is held within 10 days (sounds like you had that part) - determine areas to evaluate
3. Eligibility meeting - must be held within 65 business days of referral - business days include over the summer

If you wait until fall it seems like it will take forever to get an IEP...

good luck!

Not sure about FCPS, but in MCPS if the process goes into the summer and the school team is not working over the summer, then a summer team takes over. I am a special Ed teacher and when I have came back I the fall and a summer team has completed the process, it’s an extremely subpar report and IEP. Last year I couldn’t even locate a copy of the test8ng they had done, and the individuals involved wouldn’t respond to my emails. Hopefully FCPS has a better system.[/quote]
