Yes. They'd start looking to reevaluate 30-33 months from the last evaluation.

The eligibility is a couple of months old. So we stay eligible for tree years, correct? Without having to go through the eligibility again.

If eligibility isn't more than 3 years old, your eligibility should stand. You'd have to negotiate placement and services.

This is typically not recommended if you ever intend to go back to public. Given that I intended to try to work with my school system in future, I wrote them a letter stating that I planned on rejecting the IEP as inadequate and would place my child in private school, reserving the right to sue for reimbursement.
I also worked with the school so that the IEP would not expire. We converted the IEP to a Service Plan and accepted services under that plan to keep our case active and open with the school system, meeting with them yearly until the school offered a better service package for us to return to public.
We are in MCPS but I believe it works this way in any school system.
Well, to be fair I think the PP meant keep it around for reference, not as a document that has any legal force. And you would need to redetermine eligibility over that amount of time even if you were in public all the way through.

Yes, just a quick note that you are putting your kid in private, so won't be signing the IEP.

If it isn't going to be that FCPS is paying for private, you literally just put the IEP in the drawer in case you need it (or to refer to it) when you go back to public school. I haven't looked at my kids' IEP since we left for private school 4 years ago. Our private has it's own system of providing for my kids' needs.

Do you want FCPS to reimburse you for private school? Then get a lawyer now to preserve your rights. If you don't care about reimbursement, then you don't have to do anything with the IEP, it is not official without your signature. However, it is polite to send an email explaining what you are doing and why. You don't want to leave on bad terms, since you may want to return you child.to public school in the future and need to talk with these people again.

This is FCPS. We don't agree with most of the things in the IEP, inl and are now moving our child to a private school. What are we supposed to do with the IEP? Mail it back to the case manager saying that we do not agree with the goals? Hold another meeting? We don;t even agree to the prior written notice. It did not accurately reflect what we were presented at the IEP meeting.
