3 year re-evaluations and a protocol RE: parent nonparticipation
A 3 yr (which comes with possible eligibility / accommodation changes) requires a signature of consent to re-evaluate from the parent – and from here on out should not be held without parent participation.
So, if there is a 3 yr due and parents are not responding/reachable, rather than hold a 3 yr meeting without parents:
1. hold an annual meeting with your team and
2. on the notes page of the Meeting Packet add a note:
2. on the notes page of the Meeting Packet add a note:
a. parents are not responding/attending (the 3 yr re-evaluation) planned meeting
b. the 504 plan is continuing as an annual without changes.
b. the 504 plan is continuing as an annual without changes.
Remember – you’ll have to ask the District 504 Assistant to change the 504 process from a 3 yr re-eval (4 sections to fill) to an annual (2 sections to fill) before writing the plan.
