U - Initial Evaluation and Eligibility Timelines File 2020-2021

Introduction

This file captures information on all currently enrolled students referred for an initial evaluation to determine if a student is eligible for special education. This includes all students referred regardless of their eligibility determination and all related timelines associated with the referral and eligibility processes.

The Initial Evaluation and Eligibility Timelines File includes one record for each Special Education Timeline record occurring during the current school year. If multiple evaluations exist in the current school year, there should be two records to reflect the two evaluations.
