Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) Criteria

The Windsor Locks Public Schools employ certified staff such as school psychologists, special education teachers, school social workers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech and language pathologists for the purpose of evaluating students with special education needs.  In some instances, parents may wish to exercise their rights pursuant to their Procedural Safeguards in Special Education to obtain an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) at public expense.  In the event that a parent seeks to obtain an IEE at public expense, or a Planning and Placement Team (PPT) seeks to obtain an outside evaluation of a student to obtain additional information regarding a student, the evaluation must meet the following criteria.  In the event that the evaluation does not meet the following criteria, the parent may still obtain the evaluation, but it will not be publicly funded.

According to state and federal special education laws, parents and guardians have the right to obtain an IEE at public expense.  The Windsor Locks Public Schools have established the following procedure for obtaining an IEE at public expense and selecting an appropriate evaluator.
