Special Education services are mandated by federal law under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and some children may be eligible for the following:

• An individual assessment by a school psychologist to determine eligibility for services under one of the designated categories under the IDEA

• Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment

• Individual Education Plan (IEP) is reviewed at least yearly and related services such as speech, occupational, physical therapy, and transportation, etc.

The State Department of Education is introducing the EdPlan Connect Parent Portal. This portal allows access to your child’s IEP or 504 Plan documents, services and teacher-of-record information for finalized paperwork.

The links below will provide information and instructions for using the EdPlan Connect Parent Portal.

• Parent Guide for Using EdPlan Connect
