This article assists users when completing the event.

The IEP Amendment event is created by the user.  It is used to change decisions made by the IEP team during an earlier IEP meeting or amendment. 

To correct an error made when completing an IEP, create the IEP Correction event.

Event information

What is an Amendment?

An Amendment is used to document a change to a decision made by the IEP team at the IEP meeting or in a subsequent amendment. An example is changing the location of a service from the Special Education setting to the Regular Education setting.

What forms are included in an IEP Amendment?

  • When the IEP Amendment is created all forms in the IEP or previous Amendment are copied with these exceptions:

    • Excusal

    • IEP Front Page

    • Prior Written Notices

      • These forms do not copy into an IEP Amendment from the previous event (IEP, IEP Amendment, or IEP Correction). A Prior Written Notice is issued specifically for the event in which it was used. New notices will be completed for the Amendment.

    • The Amendment form is not copied from one amendment to the next. This form must be completed for each event.

  • The Amendment form is included and required in the Amendment. It is used to document the agreement of the parent/guardian/18+ student, and the representatives of the Component District and SSD to complete the Amendment. It also documents the areas of the IEP being amended.

Existing goals and services should not be changed or deleted in an Amendment. End Dates should be used to indicate a goal or service will no longer be provided.
