Evaluation Requirements for Children with Disabilities
School Board Approved: June 18, 2018
The district ensures that assessments and other evaluation materials, including those tailored to assess specific areas of education need, used to assess a child are:
Materials and procedures used to assess a child with limited English proficiency are selected and administered to ensure that they measure the extent to which the child has a disability and needs special education, rather than measuring the child’s English language skills.
A student must meet the eligibility criteria established in the New Hampshire Rules for the Education of Children with Disabilities.
The district conducts re-evaluations:
The district does not conduct re-evaluation more than once a year, unless the parent and district agree otherwise. The District will ensure that all evaluation requirements for children with learning disabilities are evaluated consistent with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. All staff, students, parents and other interested persons are directed to the New Hampshire Department of Education Special Education Policies and Procedures Manual.
