Using the log

The evaluation timeline

IDEA requires an initial evaluation within 60 days of receiving parental consent, or within the timeline a state sets (34 CFR 300.301(c)). Check your state’s rule; the log notes only the federal default.

Keep it to decisions

The log records what was agreed and who acts. Test results, protocols and reports stay in the school psychologist’s file, where test security and records rules apply.

What this is not

An evaluation report or a referral form.
