56345(a)(2) and Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 300.160(a) (34 CFR 300.160(a)). • Criterion 3: Parent Opinion and Consultation
o The parent/guardian is a participant on the IEP team. • Criterion 4: Comparison of Performance in Basic Skills
o The IEP team should specify in the student’s IEP an assessment of basic skills to meet the guidelines for reclassification (e.g., the California Alternate Assessment for English language arts) per EC Section 56345(a)(6)(B) and 34 CFR Section 300.160(a). The IEP team may consider using other assessments that are valid and reliable and designed to compare the basic skills of ELs with disabilities to native speakers of English with similar disabilities to determine whether an EL with disabilities has sufficiently mastered the basic skills for reclassification consideration.
