What is an IEP?
An IEP is a written Individualized Education Program individually designed to meet the unique educational needs of a student with disabilities. It describes educational goals and objectives and specifies the special education and related services needed to attain goals.

Who are the members of an IEP team?
A representative of the district administration who is knowledgeable of the program options available; the current teacher of the student; one or both parents or a representative of the parents.

What is the role of the IEP team?
The IEP team develops, reviews, or revises the individualized education plan of an individual with exceptional needs. Anecdotal information and documentation from the classroom teacher can be included.

When are IEP meetings held?
IEP meetings are held whenever a student has been formally assessed as a referral for Special Education; the student is not making anticipated progress; or whenever the parent or the teacher requests an IEP team meeting. Additionally, IEP meetings are held at least annually to determine student progress and to revise or modify the IEP.
