Addressing the Risk of COVID-19 in Preschool, Elementary and Secondary Schools While Serving Children with Disabilities
New Calendar Day Type
In light of the current situation, every school will be working with some combination of E-learning and school cancellations. To accurately record these events, two additional calendar types will be available starting March 19th.
These new options are:
- E-Learning Day
- An E-Learning Day still counts as an instructional day and will be counted against evaluation timelines.
- Canceled - COVID 19
Within Indiana IEP, District Administrators have the ability to adjust the district calendar. When you log into Indiana IEP, the calendar is located on the green menu bar at the top of the screen between SmartScan and PCG. Click the calendar icon to view the current district calendar. The district calendar will then appear. Click the day you wish to address. Click "Day Type" and select the type that fits best.
Continue this process for each day as needed.
Facilitated IEP
A Facilitated IEP (FIEP) is an option available at the request of schools and parents for conflict prevention and resolution. This service is provided at no cost to parents or schools. A trained impartial professional (facilitator) helps the case conference committee with the IEP process.
LRE
Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is based on the premise that the general education environment is the first choice for educating all individuals. As described in IDEA, individuals with disabilities must be educated with their peers to the maximum extent appropriate and removal of children with disabilities from general education should only occur when education cannot be achieved in the general education environment even when supplementary aids and services are provided. This page includes guidance and additional information in regards to LRE.
Parents & Families
We partner with family support agencies and work to provide resources to help parents understand the IEP process.

Virtual Office Hours (VOH) is an open webinar for anyone with questions about the Indiana IEP (IIEP) System or special education. VOH provides direct access to our Indiana IEP consultants. Our staff will share updates and upcoming changes to the IIEP system while answering your questions.
