Breakfast with AALRR

FUND OR FILE?

Preparing Defensible Assessment Reports to Better Evaluate Whether to Fund or File When Receiving an IEE Request

Receiving an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) request requires more than simply reviewing an assessment report—it requires careful legal and educational analysis. Understanding what makes an assessment legally defensible can help districts make informed decisions, minimize risk, and confidently respond when an IEE request is received.

During this complimentary Breakfast with AALRR, Kathryn E. Meola, Partner, and Associates Jeffrey Vasquez and Michael J. Sellers, will discuss the legal standards governing IEEs, the characteristics of high-quality assessment reports, and practical considerations when determining whether to fund an IEE or proceed to due process. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for strengthening assessment practices and reducing disputes before they arise.
