What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Evaluation timeline to verify: both 60 calendar days from parental consent for assessments and 90 calendar days from the public agency's receipt of the written referral, subject to a qualifying written extension or limited exceptions.
IEP meeting timeline to verify: For an eligible student, the IEP team must meet to develop the initial IEP within 30 calendar days of the evaluation. Maryland generally requires 10 calendar days' meeting notice, planned discussion documents at least five business days before the meeting, and a completed IEP or, if unfinished, a draft within five business days after. Initial services require written parental consent and the IEP must be implemented as soon as possible after development, subject to narrow timing exceptions.
Maryland's 60-day consent clock and 90-day written-referral clock run concurrently; the evaluation must satisfy both rather than choosing the later date.

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 Maryland 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.
