Notification of conference, Parent/Guardian Initial Consent Forms – Consent for Evaluation, and IEP updates

1. Notification of Conference Form – [NoteConf]

Update:

• The fields for General Education Teacher, Special Education Teacher, and LEA Staff have been made optional.

2. Parent/Guardian Initial Consent Forms – Consent for Evaluation [Evaluation]

Updates:

• Needed Assessments:
  Implemented to function the same way as in the Parent/Guardian Re-evaluation Consent Forms.

• New Addition – “WAIVE THE THREE-DAY DRAFT REQUIREMENT”:
  This option, previously available in the Reeval Consent Form, has now been added to the Initial Consent Forms with the same functionality.

3. IEP – Goal Section

Restorations:

• Goal Area Display:
  Restored the functionality to display appropriate goal area options instead of only numeric values (1, 2, 3, etc.).
  This was previously removed per state documentation, but reinstated based on customer request, as the goal area is already listed at the top of the page.

• Progress Section – Goal Area Display:
  The same restoration has been applied to the Progress section to display full goal area options instead of numbers.

Enhancements:

• Parent Progress Notification Dates:
  The field “Date(s) parent will be provided with the student’s progress on the annual goal” is now a child template, allowing staff to enter multiple dates.

4. IEP – Educational Accommodations and Supports Section

Fix:

• When selecting “No” in Linguistic Accommodations, the form previously required highlighted fields to finalize the selection.
  These required validations have now been removed, allowing the form to finalize correctly.
