Special Education

PARENT INVOLVEMENT SURVEY

All parents of school-aged children and youth with disabilities who receive special education services in Virginia are requested to complete the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE)annual Parent Involvement Survey.

This survey will remain open through December 13, 2024. Please complete one survey for each of your children who received special education services during the 2023-2024 school year.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The special education process includes identification, referral and screening, evaluation, eligibility, IEP/placement and triennial reevaluation. This process begins when a referral from a parent, teacher, physician or another interested person is received by the school. At this time, a school-based team reviews all the available information and determines whether or not there is enough information to suspect that a student has a disability. This school-based team has 10 administrative working days in which to meet and reach a decision as to whether or not a student needs a comprehensive evaluation.

Timelines:

Referral to Screening Meeting

 

10 Administrative Days

Referral for a Comprehensive Evaluation to Eligibility Meeting 65 Administrative Days
Eligibility to Initial Individualized Education Program Meeting 30 Calendar Days
Annual Review of the Individualized Education Program 1 year
Reevaluation of Student Eligibility Every Three (3) Years
