Appendix B: Sample PWN 9.1 Student Exits from Special Education: Student No Longer Qualifies for Special Education
Date
Parent/Guardian Address Line 1 Address Line 2 Subject: Exit from Special Education: Student No Longer Qualifies for Special Education – Johnny Smith (DOB 01/00/00) Dear Parent/Guardian, Under the Individuals with Education Act (IDEA), a student must be re-evaluated at least every three years to determine his/her continued eligibility for special education and related services. This is also known as a triennial review. This re-evaluation process starts with a review of all existing data that the LEA already knows about your child, Johnny. Based on the existing data determined to be sufficient by the IEP team to re-determine your child’s continued eligibility, he no longer qualifies for special education and related services. Federal law requires that the LEA provide written notice to parents anytime it proposes to begin or change the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of your child or the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to your child. Johnny’s determination for continued eligibility as a student with a disability is due January 26, 2013. Based on the existing data determined to be sufficient by the team to re-determine Johnny’s eligibility, the team found that he no longer meets the criteria for specific learning disability in reading and writing nor does he qualify for any other disability category. The team reviewed all existing data and also determined that the testing from a prior evaluation completed in January 2010 was still current. Johnny’s achievement data from his most recent AIMS scores, current school year’s grades, progress reports, input and feedback from the special education and general education teachers, along with sample of his work in the areas of reading and writing were also reviewed and considered. The data indicates Johnny has demonstrated marked achievement in the areas of reading and writing. He is fully included in the regular class and has been receiving minimal support from the special education teacher. His achievement scores and grade reports indicate he is now performing at grade level. Both of Johnny’s teachers feel he is able to maintain progress without special education services. If you disagree with the LEA’s proposal to initiate or change the identification of your child, or if you have other questions about your rights under the IDEA, please consult the enclosed IDEA procedural safeguards.
