1. communication between the LEA and the parents;

2. IEP Team meetings at which parents and school personnel make joint decisions and resolve any differences about the student's needs and services;

3. a completed IEP/placement document, which describes the decisions made during the meetings, including the special education and related services that are to be provided;

4. a formal assurance by the LEA that the services described in the document will be provided;

5. written parental consent for initial placement;

6. procedural safeguards for differences that cannot be resolved mutually;

7. initial placement and provision of services as described in the IEP/ placement document; and

8. consideration and/or determination of eligibility for Extended school year (ESY) services for students with disabilities. Refer to ESY section of this handbook (Chapter 7) for further guidance.

B. The IEP Team has the responsibility for determining the student's special educational and related services needs and placement.

C. A student dually identified with a disability and gifted and/or talented shall have his/her individualized educational program developed on the IEP for students with a disability.

D. A LEA is required to initiate and conduct IEP Team meetings periodically, but not less than annually, to review each student's IEP in order to determine whether the annual goals for the student are being achieved and to revise the IEP as appropriate. The LEA shall notify parents of the review IEP Team meeting in accordance with the same procedures as the initial IEP.

E. An additional IEP/placement review meeting is not required when a LEA elects to move the student to another school site within the agency when all of the information on the IEP remains the same and the effect of the program has not been changed.
