For special education students, placement is determined through the IEP process. Change of placement for special education students may occur during the school year if the student’s IEP Team determines this to be appropriate for the student. Parents/guardians seeking a mid-year change of placement due to special education needs should request an IEP Team meeting through their child’s teacher. The special education department should convene an IEP meeting within 30 calendar days of the request (not including holiday breaks exceeding five school days), and contact their school’s Special Education Services Content Specialist for assistance.
