[quote=Anonymous]I have a MCPS high school child with an IEP.

Confidentiality is a HUGE concern.  Some schools do a great job keeping the file under lock and key (our elementary experience).  Some schools do a horrendous job protecting  a child's confidential information (middle school and high school).  Teachers in middle school verbally relayed my DD's info. to the entire class because questions were raised about her accommodations.  The Special Ed Coordinator did not see a problem with teachers answering kids questions about my child's needs.  High school was even worse.  Her file was left in public places, unlocked and unsupervised.  Anyone including other students (especially students who volunteered in the office and counseling office as aides) had complete access to her file.

With those examples being said, the school does need testing documentation for their records.  Depending on what is in the record, I would provide them as little as possible to justify your child's needs.  If it pertains to other family members or is not relevant for the IEP, submit an amended version.  Keep tabs on confidentiality issues and report any concerns.[/quote]
