Can an IEP be amended without an IEP meeting when the school does not offer the program or service on the student’s IEP?

No, in this case, the IEP team must be convened to consider other programs and service options based on the student’s specific needs. If the team concludes that the student requires the service or program that the school does not offer, the school should consult with its Administrator of Special Education to request a Checklist for Organizing Resources (CORe) review (see the DOE's Special Education Standard Operating Procedures Manual (SOPM), Provision of Special Education Programs section). Likewise, when the student’s IEP team has student progress data that suggests the student should be considered for a change in program or services, an IEP meeting must be held to consider the change and revise the IEP (see the SOPM, IEP Team Composition section).
