Case Study Evaluation
A case study evaluation is conducted with written parent/guardian consent and includes a series of diagnostic procedures that provide information about the student and the nature of the challenges that are affecting educational success. During a domain meeting, the educational team, which includes the students and parents, determines the components of the case study evaluation. The assessment must be completed within a 60 school-day timeline. When the case study evaluation is completed, results are shared and eligibility for special education services is determined by the educational team.
Parents may bring a private evaluation to the attention of the district staff. The private evaluation is reviewed through the problem-solving process and are compared to the district’s special education criteria and IDEA legislation.
Within 14 days of receiving a private evaluation or other request for assessment, the educational team determines whether additional assessment or other steps are warranted.
