8 VAC 20-81-60 Timelines for Evaluations & Eligibility Decisions
 

The proposed regulations give school districts 65 buisness days to complete special education evaluations, instead of the 60 calendar days set forth in IDEA This proposed regulation does not benefit children with disabilities and their families. It will cause unnecessary delays before children with disabilities receive the special education services they require.
