What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Evaluation timeline to verify: no later than 60 calendar days after the agency receives written parental consent for evaluation, excluding calendar days from the day after the last day of the spring school term through the day before the first day of the subsequent fall school term.
IEP meeting timeline to verify: The evaluation report is provided at least 10 school days before the IEP team meeting unless the parent waives that lead time in writing. When the child is determined eligible, the initial IEP meeting must be conducted within 30 days. Initial services require informed parental consent, and the completed IEP must be implemented as soon as possible but no later than 10 school days after completion.
Pennsylvania defines the excluded summer period precisely: from the day after the last day of the spring term through the day before the first day of the subsequent fall term.

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 Pennsylvania 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.
