What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Evaluation timeline to verify: 60 calendar days after the LEA receives parental consent for evaluation, adjusted for Georgia's specified five-consecutive-school-day breaks and summer exclusion. Consent received 30 days or more before the end of the school year remains subject to the 60-day evaluation timeframe.
IEP meeting timeline to verify: A group of qualified professionals and the parent determines eligibility after the evaluation, and the LEA provides the evaluation report and eligibility documentation at no cost. If the child is eligible, the initial IEP meeting must be conducted within 30 days of that determination. Initial special education and related services require separate informed parental consent and must be made available as soon as possible after the IEP is developed.
A parent or Student Support Team (SST) may refer a child for evaluation. GaDOE says MTSS/RTI interventions may occur during the evaluation but may not delay or deny a full individual evaluation.

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 Georgia 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.
