What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Evaluation timeline to verify: 60 calendar days from the administrative unit's receipt of written parental consent to completion of the initial evaluation, including the evaluation report, subject to limited exceptions.
IEP meeting timeline to verify: After the evaluation, Colorado requires an eligibility meeting within a reasonable time. If the child needs special education, the IEP meeting must occur within 30 calendar days of that determination, and Colorado also requires the initial IEP to be developed within 90 calendar days of evaluation consent. Initial services require separate parental consent.
Colorado's ECEA Rules use one consent date for both the 60-calendar-day evaluation checkpoint and the 90-calendar-day initial-IEP cap.

Document based IEP review
Check the pages you already have
The review reads the pages you upload, points to the wording behind each concern, and helps you prepare questions. It does not send anything to your school or decide a legal claim.
Common questions
What should I review first for Colorado IEP Audit?
Start with the current IEP and the most recent evaluation. Compare the student's documented needs with the Present Levels, annual goals, services, accommodations, and progress reports.
Can I ask the school for IEP changes after reviewing the document?
Yes. Parents can request an IEP meeting at any time. Put the concern and requested change in writing. If the school refuses, ask for Prior Written Notice explaining the refusal and the data used.
What documents should I bring to an IEP review?
Bring the current IEP, the most recent evaluation, progress reports, work samples, relevant emails, attendance or discipline records when applicable, and a short list of your top concerns.
