What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Evaluation timeline to verify: no more than 30 school days from the public agency's receipt of signed evaluation consent to notice of an initial FAPE offer or determination of ineligibility, unless the parent and agency agree to a qualifying written extension measured in school days.
IEP meeting timeline to verify: Within the 30-school-day consent-to-offer period, the IEP team determines eligibility and, when the student is eligible, develops the initial IEP. The agency provides the initial FAPE-offer or ineligibility notice within seven school days after the IEP team meeting. The parent has 10 school days after receiving an initial FAPE offer to provide written consent for initial services. The agency then initiates the proposed IEP as soon as possible and within the applicable 15-school-day limit, unless a qualifying due-process or agreed later-date rule applies.
Michigan's 30-school-day clock reaches the initial FAPE-offer or ineligibility notice, so describing it as only an evaluation deadline omits eligibility and initial IEP work.

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 Michigan 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.
