one student, every domain in question
Drawn for this page. A plan that misses a domain named in the referral is the easiest gap to catch before consent, and the hardest to fix after.

How to use it

  1. Start a review with the student’s code.
  2. Mark the concerns the referral raises, then the domains the plan assesses.
  3. Mark each check meets, needs work or does not apply.
  4. Give every role a date before the due date.
  5. Fix what needs work, then send the plan with the consent request.

The rules behind the checks

Timelines

An initial evaluation must be completed within 60 days of receiving parent consent, or within a timeline the state sets (34 CFR 300.301(c)). A reevaluation happens at least every three years unless the parent and school agree it is unnecessary, and not more than once a year unless they agree (34 CFR 300.303).

Procedures

The evaluation must use a variety of tools, including information from the parent; no single measure may decide eligibility; and the student must be assessed in all domains related to the suspected disability (34 CFR 300.304). For a suspected learning disability the team must also observe the student in the regular classroom (300.310).

What it is not

A planning check, not a legal review. It does not decide eligibility, and it does not replace your state’s rules or your district’s procedures.
