La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § CI-511

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section CI-511 - Evaluation Timelines
A. The initial evaluation must be conducted within 60 business days of receiving parental consent for the evaluation with appropriate extensions as described below:
1. End of the Year Extension. If the LEA begins an evaluation and there are fewer than 60 business days remaining in the LEA's current school year, the LEA may take this type of extension with parent permission. However, the number of days used between the parental signature and June 1 (the SER official beginning date for summer) will be subtracted from the 60 business days, and the timelines will begin again on September 1 (the SER official ending date for summer).
2. Parentally Approved Extension. If the LEA is making sufficient progress to ensure a prompt completion of the evaluation but needs extended time to assess the student in all areas of the suspected exceptionality, the parent and the LEA may agree to a specific time when the evaluation will be completed.
B. Extensions are not allowed during expedited evaluations for students subject to disciplinary measures as referenced in §534 of Bulletin 1706.
