What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Evaluation timeline to verify: 60 business days from the LEA's receipt of parental consent for the initial evaluation, subject to limited regulatory exceptions and Bulletin 1508 extensions.
IEP meeting timeline to verify: For an eligible student, the LEA has a maximum of 30 calendar days from dissemination of the completed written evaluation to its special education administrator to complete the initial IEP/placement document. Evaluation consent is not consent for initial services, so the LEA must obtain separate informed parental consent before first providing special education and related services.
Louisiana measures the initial-evaluation period in business days, not calendar days.

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 Louisiana 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.
