What to check
Read the plan for these specific details
Evaluation timeline to verify: 65 business days from the special education administrator's or designee's receipt of the referral through completion of all evaluations and the eligibility decision, including when the referral is routed to a school-based team, subject to limited exceptions and a qualifying written extension.
IEP meeting timeline to verify: The initial IEP must be developed within 30 calendar days after the eligibility group first determines that the child needs special education and related services. The IEP must be in effect before services are provided and implemented as soon as possible following parental consent to the IEP.
Virginia's 65-business-day clock begins when the special education administrator or designee receives the referral, not when evaluation consent is later signed.

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 Virginia 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.
