If the CSE determines that the student is eligible for Special Education services, the CSE members develop an Individual Education Program known as the IEP. This IEP must include the following:

• Present levels of performance and individual needs according to four areas: academic, social, physical development, and management needs
• Classification of the disability
• Measurable Annual Goals for assessing grade-level academic content standards
• Transition goals for students turning 15 years-of-age and older
• Recommended service(s)
• Projected date for initiation of Special Education services
• Testing modifications

Student Program Recommendations

Children receive program recommendations for the least restrictive environment. Each child’s IEP is reviewed annually to determine the need for continuation of services. As a result, children are placed accordingly for the following school year.
