Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) for Families and School Districts
An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is a private evaluation of a student’s learning, behavioral, emotional, or cognitive needs conducted by a qualified examiner outside of the school district. It is typically requested by parents or guardians when they disagree with the results or conclusions of a school-conducted evaluation.Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), families have the legal right to request an IEE at public expense if they believe a school’s evaluation was incomplete, inaccurate, or not properly administered.
