The Pre-Meeting 6: check these before the team sits down

Free for every educator, whether you run the pre-check or not. These are the six things that most often turn a routine meeting into a dispute.

1

Every service states frequency, duration, and location

"As needed" and "consult" without minutes are the findings hearing officers flag first. Write the numbers in.

34 CFR § 300.320(a)(4) · (a)(7)
2

Every goal has a baseline and a measurement method

A goal without a baseline can't show progress, and vague goals are exactly what Endrew F. was about. Measurable or rewrite it.

34 CFR § 300.320(a)(2)–(3) · Endrew F., 580 U.S. 386 (2017)
3

The parent got real notice and a real say in scheduling

The meeting must be at a mutually agreed time and place, with notice early enough to arrange to attend. One take-it-or-leave-it date is not agreement.

34 CFR § 300.322(a)
4

The draft is a draft — nothing is predetermined

Sharing a draft in advance is good practice; walking in with decisions already made is a violation. The team, including the parent, decides in the room.

34 CFR § 300.501(b) · § 300.116
5

Progress reporting is spelled out — and will actually happen

The IEP must say when and how the parent gets progress reports on every goal. Put the schedule in and keep it.

34 CFR § 300.320(a)(3)
6

Any proposal or refusal goes out as Prior Written Notice

If the team proposes or refuses a change, the parent gets it in writing with the reasoning and data behind it. PWN protects you as much as the family — it is the record that you did it right.

PWN — 34 CFR § 300.503
