Forms in the assessment suite are to be completed based on which assessments the student will take during the implementation of the IEP.  The forms are named, “I-7-[assessment].”  For example, the form that IEP teams will use related to the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) is I-7-SBA and contains language specific to SBA assessment policies.

  • Beginning December 31, 2008, a parent of a child with a disability may revoke consent for the provision of special education and related services. The revocation of consent must be in writing. Upon receipt of the written revocation, the school district must promptly provide prior written notice in accordance with § 300.503 a reasonable time before stopping special education and related services.
    The department has developed two model forms to assist districts in implementing this change in special education law. Form P-5 may be used to document written revocation of consent. Note, however, parents may use other ways of providing written revocation, and this form is not required. P-6 is a form districts may use to provide the required prior written notice. The department has also revised the Model Procedural Safeguards Notice and form P-1 (Determination and Notice of Placement: Consent for Initial Placement).
