CPR Rating:
SE 8 IEP Team composition and attendance
Partially Implemented
Department CPR Findings:
Record review and interviews indicate that while members of the Team regularly attend
Team meetings, the members do not always sign in at meetings. If a member is absent,
the district has no formal process to allow the parent(s) to agree, in writing, that the
attendance of the Team member is not necessary because the member's area of the
curriculum or related services is not being modified or discussed. There is no formal
process to allow the parent(s) to agree in writing to excuse a required Team member's
participation and to ensure that the excused member provides written input into the
development of the IEP to the parent and the IEP Team prior to the meeting.
Description of Corrective Action:
The meeting invitation and sign-in processes have been revamped to ensure the
following:
1. Team meeting sign-in is required at both the start and the end of the Team meeting to
ensure accurate attendance records.
2. A Parent Consent Form is now being used to excuse absent team members because the
member's area of the curriculum or related services is not being modified or discussed.
3. A Parent Consent Form is now being used to agree in writing to excuse a required
Team member's participation and to ensure that the excused member provides written
input into the development of the IEP to the parent and the IEP Team prior to the
meeting.
