Introduction An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is an evaluation conducted by a qualified examiner who is not employed by the Charter Local Education Agency (LEA) or public agency responsible for the education of a child with a disability ( Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations § 300.502 ). Since a child’s educational program and placement are determined by the results of assessments, a parent who disagrees with a Charter LEA’s evaluation has the right to obtain an IEE at public expense to identify the child’s disabilities and resulting educational needs.
