IEP 2.0 and Amended IEP 2.0
The IEP 2.0 event provides the same functionality as the original IEP event, but in a more streamlined format. IEP 2.0 has 13 default steps versus 15 in the original IEP event. Additionally, some step names and form components are different.
1. Select the IEP Type.
Do not select Amended for the IEP Type as that is a separate event.
2. The 3 Year Reeval Due Date may auto-populate if present in the student's SIS record. If not, enter the date.
3. The IEP Plan Date and IEP Plan End Date will auto-populate from the locked IEP Meeting Notice.
If multiple meeting notices were created, the system pulls the dates from the most recent locked notice.
4. Enter the IEP Services Start Date.
5. Answer the transition questions.
If the student turns 14 between the IEP Services Start Date and IEP Services End Date, Yes will automatically be selected for "Will the student be 14 years of age or entering the first year of high school during the validity period of the IEP?" question.
If the student turns 12 between the IEP Services Start Date and IEP Services End Date, Yes will automatically be selected for "Will the student be in the 7th grade or turning 12 years of age or older during the validity period of the IEP?" question.
If the student is 14 years of age or entering the first year of high school, the Transition Services 14 and Transition Resources steps are added after this step is saved and validated. If the student will be in the 7th grade or turning 12 years of age or older, the Transition Services 12 and Transition Resources steps are added after this step is saved and validated.
6. If Yes is selected for the Self-Determination and Self-Advocacy section, then self-determination must be addressed through annual goals, short-term objectives/benchmarks, or services in the IEP.
7. Indicate if and how the parent/guardian/student was provided with procedural safeguards or transition resources.
The "Yes" radio button for Transition Resources will be selected by default if any of the transition questions above are answered with "Yes." The "No" radio button will be selected by default if all the transition questions above are answered with "No" or "N/A."
8. Select the Frequency of IEP Goals Progress Reporting to Parents.
9. Select whether the parent was provided notification of parental rights regarding use of public benefits or insurance. Select whether the parent consented to share information to obtain Medicaid eligibility status. This is a separate form.
The answer to this question will auto-populate if the data exists in the field parent_billing_medical_consent. If the parent_billing_medical_consent field is null or Z, the NA will be auto-populated. If the NA is auto-populated, and the parent provides or fails to provide consent when requested, the NA can be changed to Yes or No. Upon locking the IEP, the event trigger will update the parent_billing_medical_consent field if a change was made.
10. Click Save & Validate at the top of the screen when finished completing the form.
This step features a hyperlink to the student’s SIS Test History, which opens in a pop-out window. Standardized test data will also automatically populate from the Test History record. Each Domain in the PLAAFP must be addressed whether or not the student needs instruction, support, or services for that domain.
- Each Domain must have Yes or No selected as an Area of Concern. If Yes is selected, a separate step will generate for that domain to describe strengths and concerns.
- Only Domains selected as Yes will be available for selection on the Goals & Objectives screen.
- Selecting No for a Domain will require an explanation.
- Transition Service Area(s) can also be selected for each Domain for Transition IEPs.
Hover over the i icon to view a description of the domain in a tool-tip.
Selecting Yes for the Alternate Assessment Eligibility question will generate an Alternate Assessment Eligibility step.

To accommodate situations where a student’s IEP may carry from one school year or grade level to the next, the system allows users to create up to 4 different Schedules of Services for an IEP validity period. This also accommodates ESY when service dates and total minutes will be different. This screen contains a hyperlink to view the student’s schedule in a new window.
