The overall strategies fit for most meetings. For specifics on meetings where an amendment is discussed, manifestation determination meetings, and meetings that result from repetitive use of restrictive procedures.
After the Meeting
Coordinate next steps with other team members.
Write the IEP, BIP (if applicable), and a PWN.
Ensure that the IEP and PWN are finalized in SpEd Forms. If applicable, ensure that the BIP has been uploaded to SpEd Forms history.
Send the IEP, BIP (if applicable), and PWN to parents as soon as possible, but no later than 10 school days after the meeting date.
When Consent is Received
Following annual IEP meetings, make sure the following supplemental forms have been updated and filed:
If applicable: Transportation Information Form (if the student is authorized to access special transportation). All students in setting IV programs will have one.
Optional: Extended School Year Form (only if the student has qualified for ESY, and even then the form is optional)
Communicate with all necessary team members about changes and any accommodations or supports that need to be put in place. This could include: the student, parents/caregivers, general education teachers, related service providers, paraprofessionals, administrators, services coordinators, School Resource Officer, social worker, school-linked mental health worker, and school psychologist.
Create new graphs or update graphs if utilizing programs that track progress. Following an annual IEP meeting, we always create new graphs. Following an IEP meeting to discuss an amendment, you may be adding a phase line, ending a graph, or adding a new graph.
Complete a Change of Status Form if parent address, disability, federal setting, transportation status, school, or evaluation status were changed.
