The Consent to Amend IEP is used when the Student Team has determined that a change needs to be made to an IEP. The parent and principal sign a written agreement to have the plan changed without holding a meeting.
For Revision IEPs, Consent to Amend IEP date can be used instead of Actual Conference - For IEP to be activated, the Consent to Amend can be used instead of Actual Conference. In those cases, the Consent Form Signed Date is used, and the same rules for Actual Conference dates are applied.
A Prior Written Notice must be created under the IEP Revision first.
To complete a Consent to Amend IEP, do the following:
Under PLAN, expand the latest IEP Revision.
Highlight the PWN. The Actions menu will change.
Select New Consent to Amend IEP.
Enter information into the following fields:
Discussion Date - The date the IEP Coordinator, or other IEP team member and parent discussed the changes to the plan.
Provided to Parent Date - The date a copy of the Consent to Amend was provided to the parent. This should be the same date as the PWN and both are sent to the parent together. NOTE: Entering an incorrect future date will prevent you from activating an IEP until after the date has passed. eCSSS "remembers" the latest saved date even after the date is edited and saved.
Consent Form Signed Date - The date the parent signed the form. This date will become the date for the IEP.
Name of Person Signing Consent Form - The name of the person granting the consent.
School Received Consent Form Date - The date the parents returned the form to the school.
Consent Given - Select No or Yes.
Click Save then Close.
