Update on Parent Summary of the Educational Evaluation

Beginning January 15, 2014, when an Educational Evaluation Report (EER) is printed in the web system, a Parent Summary of the EER is also produced. Please note the Parent Summary draws from text that practitioners enter in the EER. There are no extra items and no additional input is required on any practitioner’s behalf to produce the summary. 

Within the EER in the Web IEP program, a red “H” denotes the items from which text is drawn for the Parent Summary document. Additionally, page 391 of the AEA Special Education Procedures Manual (January 15, 2014) outlines information about the Parent Summary. Staff may review pages 392-393 of the AEA Special Education Procedures Manual to see a complete example of a Parent Summary. 

Within the AEA Special Education Procedures Manual and accompanying release notes (both dated January 15, 2014), direction is given to follow your AEA’s guidance for use of this summary. At Heartland AEA, practitioners will provide the Parent Summary in conjunction with the full Educational Evaluation Report. Practitioners are not to provide the Parent Summary without the full EER. 

If for any reason an EER is modified after it has been supplied to parents, please remember to reprint the EER and Parent Summary and provide the revised copies to parents.
