Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I hope the links work. These people know their stuff. Moves, Transfers, and Kids with IEPs "I'm a special ed teacher and need information on timelines for IEPs. My administrator said we have a '90-day reprieve' on an IEP when a new child moves into the district. Is this true?" How long does a school have to implement a child's IEP? Does the law include a 'reprieve' for schools? Can a school wait 90 days before providing special education services? In Changing Schools and IEPs, Pam describes what IDEA 2004 requires for kids who transfer within a state, and for those who transfer from another state. in this article, Pam explains that IDEA does not include any "reprieve" of one day, one week, one month, or 90 days to provide the child with the special education services that are spelled out in the IEP. There is no provision in the law to wait.When children with disabilities move to a new school district - in the same state or a different state - the new school district must provide services that are comparable to the services in the child's current IEP. What does "comparable" mean? For the answer to this question, read Changing Schools and IEPs. http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/iep.change.schools.htmCheck out AOL Money Finance's list of the hottest products and top money wasters of 2007.
