Triennial Evaluation

[JanelleM]

Hello, 

My question is in regards to the triennial evaluation, when you move to another state does it reset the timeline. We moved from CA to NC 2022. My son would have been due the evaluation in spring 2024. Our current school stated that it reset when we moved to this state so he is not due until 2025. Is that correct? I had assumed it is under federal guidelines so it would not matter state to state.

Thank you!

Your son was most likely given an initial/triennial eval in 2022 when you moved states.  His next eval would be due 3 years later.  If you feel he has areas of need that are not being addressed, you can always request an interim eval.

The initial eval they did in 2022 might have used info from the eval his previous school did but it does reset the triennial clock.

Thank you for the answer. They did not eval him when we moved here because he just had an eval the previous year. They used the previous eval as you stated. Thanks again!
