Special education documents are available to parents through Parent Connection. This includes the current IEP and ESER, as well as the FBA/BIP if there is one. Effective April 2020 parents will also be able to view Prior Written Notices (PWN) from the current school year. Parents can access their student’s full special education file by contacting Special Education Records.

The documents remain confidential and secure, as they have in the past. Principals and school counselors can access the IEP and FBA/BIP for all students in their school. General education teachers can access the IEP and FBA/BIP only for students who are enrolled in the courses they teach.
