Dear PARENT NAME:
Our office has reviewed the qualifications of INSERT NAME OF REQUESTED ASSESSOR, who you requested the District utilize for an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) for your student, INSERT STUDENT NAME. After reviewing the qualifications of the assessor, the District finds that the assessor does not meet the qualifications as stated under the Local Plan Policy. Specifically, the assessor FILL IN THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA THE PARENT REQUESTED THIS ASSESSOR AND WHY ASSESSOR DOES NOT MEET SELPA QUALIFICATION (I.E. COST CRITERIA, LICENSURE/CREDENTIAL CRITERIA, ETC.). The District has requested that you work with us to understand the complex medical, educational, and/or psychological needs such that there are no other qualified evaluators. Upon review, we find that there is not a compelling rationale for utilizing a non-qualified assessor.
However, to avoid dispute and in the interest of compromise regarding the selection of an assessor, the District is agreeing to utilize the services of INSERT NAME OF REQUESTED ASSESSOR.
The District looks forward to working with you and the selected assessor collaboratively to complete this evaluation and review it as your student’s Individual Education Program meeting.
