Corrections to AEA Special Education Procedures Manual

Please make note in your Area Education Agency Special Education Procedures Manual dated July 25, 2013, of two needed corrections: 

1.) On page 406 the following information should read: An IEP team may elect to provide a trial out of all special education services and supports. A 45-day trial out may be initiated at either a Review or Reevaluation type of IEP meeting. A reevaluation IEP meeting must be held at the conclusion of the trial. The trial is calling the question of continued need, and therefore, eligibility for special education and this may only be done in the content of a reevaluation process. 

2.) On page 149, IEP Changes Matrix, the second bullet under the column heading "Revaluation" and the row of "When it is Required" should read: Exit from special education services when terminating student due to completion of IEP/no longer eligible (exit code RRG). 

We anticipate these items to be corrected in the next version of the Area Education Agency Special Education Procedures Manual, expected to be released January 2014.
