From:
Jacob C. Green; Assistant Director of Administrative Services
Office of Institutional Education Programs
Subject:
Assurance Statement for IEP Compliance
Date:
10/30/2009
As was discussed at the March 2009 Principal/Lead Teacher Meeting, all schools within OIEP must
adhere to the following in regards to students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs):
1. All IEPs shall be reviewed, corrected, and implemented per the guidelines established in West
Virginia State Board Policy 2419: Regulations for the Education of Students with Exceptionalities
and the West Virginia Procedures Manual for the Education of Students with Exceptionalities.
2. The most common situation OIEP schools deal with is that of a student who transfers in with a
current West Virginia IEP. The following is direct language from Policy 2419:
When a student with a current West Virginia IEP transfers school districts within the same
school year, and enrolls in a new school, the district must make reasonable efforts to
consult with the parent within TWO SCHOOL DAYS of initial enrollment AND to
initiate FAPE for the student within ONE SCHOOL DAY of the parent consultation.
FAPE includes services comparable to those described in the previously held IEP. Within
TEN SCHOOL DAYS of the parent or adult student consultation, the district must
ADOPT the previously held IEP OR DEVELOP and implement a NEW IEP.
