IEP Improvement Project: Forms and Resources
It is expected that schools and districts will begin using the new forms in either fall of 2023 or the fall of 2024. Schools and districts that have not transitioned to the new IEP will continue utilizing the IEP forms found at IEP Forms and Notices: English and Translated Versions.
