needs, including improved academic achievement and functional performance, of the pupil warrant a reassessment, or if the pupil’s parents or teacher requests a reassessment. (2) A reassessment shall occur not more frequently than once a year, unless the parent and the local educational agency agree otherwise, and shall occur at least once every three years, unless the parent and the local educational agency agree, in writing, that a reassessment is unnecessary. If the reassessment so indicates, a new individualized education program shall be developed. State and federal laws and regulations require that children with disabilities receive a reevaluation at least once every three years or more frequently if conditions warrant or if the child’s parent or teacher requests an assessment. A reevaluation shall not occur more frequently than once a year, unless the parent and the Charter LEA agree otherwise, and shall occur at least once every three years, unless the parent and the Charter LEA agree, in writing that a reevaluation is unnecessary. The date of the IEP meeting following the three-year reevaluation must occur on or before the calendar date that is two years and 364 days from the initial IEP meeting (or previous triennial). If the reassessment so indicates, a new IEP shall be developed (see SELPA form D/M 119 – Triennial Assessment Determination Form). As part of any reevaluation, the IEP team and other qualified professionals, as appropriate, shall do the following: 1. Review existing assessment data, including assessments and information provided by the parents of the child. 2. Review current classroom-based local or state assessments and classroom-based observations. 3. Review teacher and related service(s) provider(s) observations; and 4. Ensure that a vision and hearing screening is completed, unless the parent denies permission. On the basis of the information obtained from the above sources, the team members shall identify what assessments, if any, is needed to determine: 1. Whether the child continues to have a disability. 2. The present levels of performance and the educational needs of the child.
