Is an IEP report card required for all special education students?
A. Yes and no IDEA ’97 requires that parents of students with disabilities must be regularly informed (at least as often as parents of non-disabled students) of their child’s progress toward annual goals and the extent to which this progress is sufficient to enable the child to achieve the goals by the end of the year. For some students, the regular report card does report their progress. If the IEP goals are different than what can be reported on the regular report card. Then there will be an IEP Report Card provided to parents. How a student’s parents are to receive reports on progress must be discussed at the annual ARD.
