Individualized Education Program (IEP) Document

• When Parent/Guardian changes are made in the Student Contacts profile, the applicable changes to the IEP Cover page Meeting Participants section will be updated for Draft status IEP documents. Documents in Review and Finalize status will not be updated.

• The system will display a message at the top of the IEP cover page indicating Parent/Guardian Information is changed. Users must edit the document to see the updated Parent/Guardian list on the Meeting Participants table. The user shall select the Attendance option if any new parent or guardian is added. If the attendance signatures are captured for other existing Meeting Participants and a new parent or guardian is added after the student contacts are updated, the document must be re-submitted for digital signatures.

• Resolved an issue where the user was restricted from finalizing the IEP due to IEP Service dates mismatched when the user had updated the IEP meeting date on the cover page. The system now validates the IEP service dates based on the updated IEP Meeting Date to ensure all services fall within the IEP duration.

• If the Eligibility Outcome under the Eligibility Determination section of the Special Education Part B profile is not set to Eligible, the user will not be allowed to create the document. The system will display a message indicating that the IEP cannot be created.
