RE:  REQUEST FOR A CHANGE ON THE IEP FORM

I just sent this message to the IEP vendors requesting a change on the electronic IEP forms.  I wanted you to know that the request had been made:

To:   All Vendors of Electronic IEP Applications:

This is a request to change an item on the Oregon IEP form that you maintain for some districts.  I spoke to the Special Education Director Advisory last week and they agreed that we needed to get this request in early and hopefully you will make the change to the IEP form in a timely manner.  I know that you have up to a year from this request to complete the task.

The change on the IEP form has to do with a decision made relative to assessment and accountability.  Starting in the 2010-11 school year, federal high school accountability will be based on the number of students who pass state assessments by the end of their 11th grade year. High School students may still take state tests in 9th and 10th grade, but all 11th grade students who have not previously passed a state test must take that test at least once during their 11th grade year.

As a result of this change, ODE requests an update to the existing IEP form. The request is to change the assessment page of the IEP and any related references to the statewide assessment in High School. References to statewide assessment at 10/CIM should be changed to reflect statewide assessment at HS (11th) as appropriate.  Attached to this message for your convenience is a copy of the current IEP form and guidance - see page 6 (guidance) and page 13 (actual IEP form).

I will also send this request to the ESD and district directors of special education and to IT managers and appropriate Data Collectors so they are aware.  Thanks to all of you for doing such a good job in keeping our IEP forms updated and easy for districts to use.

If you have any difficulty opening the attached document, please contact Laura Allran at laura.allran at state.or.us<mailto:laura.allran at state.or.us>  or 503-947-5674.
