No. Parents may request an initial evaluation at any time (including prior to or during the implementation of Response to Intervention strategies) to determine if their child is eligible for special education services, unless the student has received a high school diploma or turned 21 prior to September 1 of the school year in question. Additional information about parents’ right to request that their child be evaluated for special education services may be found in the Initial Referral section of the DOE’s Special Education Standard Operating Procedures Manual.

A student’s teacher or related service provider may make a referral for a reevaluation. Additional information about reevaluations can be found in the Reevaluation section of the DOE’s Special Education Standard Operating Procedures Manual.

A teacher, or other professional staff member, may request that a child be evaluated by completing the Request for Referral form (in SESIS). After receiving the request, the principal must take one of two actions within 10 school days: (1) request parental consent to evaluate or (2) provide the parent with a copy of the request and offer the parent the opportunity to discuss the request with the building administrator and the professional staff member who requested the referral. Additional information about professional staff members’ right to request that a student be evaluated for special education services may be found in the Request for Initial Referral section of the DOE’s Special Education Standard Operating Procedures Manual.

The DOE has 60 calendar days to evaluate a child after receiving parent consent and 60 school days from consent to evaluate to provide the placement recommended in the initial IEP. If the child is receiving special education services, the DOE must provide the recommended placement within 60 school days of the referral for reevaluation. Additional information about special education timelines can be found in the General Information & Terms section of the DOE’s Special Education Standard Operating Procedures Manual under the Timelines for Evaluation and Placement heading.
