exceptional child education - Jefferson County Public Schools

A. Evaluations and information provided by the parent;
B. Current classroom/curriculum-based assessments and observations;
C. Classroom observations by teachers and related-service providers;
D. Information contained in the current IEP or services plan, including progress data;
E. Results of state accountability assessments (e.g., Commonwealth Accountability Testing
System, including Kentucky Core Content Test, Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills, and
Alternate Assessment) and/or districtwide or schoolwide assessments (e.g., Stanford);
and
F. Other school data (e.g., attendance records, discipline referrals, functional behavior
assessments [FBAs], behavior intervention plans [BIPs], grades, health-related
information).
Based on this review, the teachers, related-service providers, and, when appropriate, assessment
personnel determine:
A. The validity of current data; and
B. What additional data, if any, may be needed for the ARC to determine if the child or
youth continues to be a child or youth with a disability and his or her programming
needs.
In determining what additional data may be needed, the reviewers should consider that the
reevaluation is to be sufficiently comprehensive in order to assess all of the child’s or youth’s special
education and related services needs, whether or not the area of assessment is commonly linked to
the exceptionality of the child or youth. This review of existing data may be conducted without
parental consent and without an ARC meeting; however, all data and recommendations must be
presented to the ARC for consideration and action.
ARC Meeting to Discuss Need for Reevaluation
The LEA shall not be required to conduct a reevaluation, if:
(a) After review of the existing data, the ARC determines:
(1) A reevaluation is not necessary to determine whether the child continues to be eligible for services; and
(2) A reevaluation is not warranted to determine the education or related service needs, including improved academic
achievement and functional performance; and
(b) The parents or teacher do not request a reevaluation.
707 KAR 1:300 Section 4(17)
If, for purposes of a reevaluation, the ARC determines that no additional data are needed to determine whether the child
continues to be a child with a disability and to determine the child’s educational needs, the LEA shall notify the child’s
parents:
(a) Of that determination and reasons for it; and
(b) Of the right of the parents to request a reevaluation to determine whether, for purposes of services, the child
continues to be a child with a disability. 707 KAR 1:300 Section 4(16)
At the ARC meeting to discuss the child’s or youth’s reevaluation needs, the ARC and other
qualified professionals, if necessary, will review the existing evaluation data on the child or youth,
including:
