A Contact Records Profile is essentially a log that documents all official communication attempts or interactions related to a student (or their parent/guardian) regarding Special Education services.
What’s the purpose of having a Contact Records Profile?
-
Ensures compliance with IDEA and Indiana DOE rules requiring documentation of communication efforts.
-
Provides an auditable history in case of disputes about whether parents were informed or involved.
-
Supports data exchange with state reporting systems to prove procedural timelines were met.
While capturing a Documents Delivery Record, the following fields are collected.
