STUDENTS TEACHERS INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT To Amend or Not to Amend… A Note From Special Ed. . . ● Clarification regarding the Science accommodations in the Special Factors page: a. If the case manager wrote the blurb/statement and listed accommodations in the Team Summary Comments, there is no need for conducting a meeting and no signature is required. A copy of the IEP can be given to the parent. Basically, the IEP content did not change, it was just the form that was changed. b. Make sure that case manager reviews the notes and make sure all of the above is in the Team Summary Comments. c. An amendment is done only if changing or adding items in the IEP was not discussed during the meeting with the IEP team. When in doubt… Ask Victoria Taylor or Kimberly Brown.
