Policy – Category 5000 (Students) BP 5002 – Assessment and Evaluation
NOTE: The 15 days does not include days between the child’s regular school sessions or days of school vacation in excess of five school days. The assessment plan shall be developed within 10 days after the beginning of the regular school year for whom a referral has been made 10 days or less prior to the end of the regular school year. In the case of school vacations, the 15-day timeline will recommence on the date the child’s regular school days reconvene. The parent may agree, in writing, to an extension. 4. The parent shall have at least 15 days from the receipt of the assessment plan to arrive at a decision. Assessment may begin immediately upon the Charter LEA’s receipt of the parent’s written consent. The case manager is responsible for distributing copies of the assessment plan to all persons named as assessors on the plan. This should be done as soon as possible to allow all assessors ample time to evaluate the child. Development of the Assessment Plan As part of an initial assessment or reassessment, the Charter LEA shall review existing assessments and information, and on the basis of that review, and with input from the parent, complete the Triennial Assessment Determination Form (D/M 119), identify what assessments, if any, are needed to determine eligibility, present levels of performance, the child’s need for special education and related services, and any modifications needed to enable the child to meet the goals and to participate in the general curriculum. The assessment plan document must: • Be in the primary language of the parent (or other mode of communication used by the parent) unless to do so is clearly not feasible. • Include the child’s primary language and level of English proficiency; and • Include a description of any recent assessments conducted, including any available independent assessments and any assessment information the parent requests to be considered, and information indicating the child’s primary language and the child’s language proficiency in the primary language. As part of the assessment plan, the parent shall be informed that upon completion of the administration of tests and other assessment materials, an IEP team meeting shall be scheduled to determine whether the child is a child with a disability and to discuss the assessment(s), the educational recommendations, and the reasons for the recommendations.
