Bureau of Special Education Director Carole L. Clancy recently sent a PennLink message to all LEAs titled Revised Special Education Forms: Prior Written Notice for a Reevaluation Form and Request for Consent for a Reevaluation Form. It informs local educational agencies (LEAs) that the Prior Written Notice for a Reevaluation and Request for Consent form has been separated into two forms, the Prior Written Notice for a Reevaluation form and the Request for Consent for a Reevaluation form.

The form was separated into two forms to ensure LEAs provide parents with prior written notice and obtain parent consent at proper times during the reevaluation process in accordance with 34 CFR 300.300 and 300.503. The revised and the annotated versions are now available on the PaTTAN website at www.pattan.net. The “Special Education Forms” tab is located on the top of the home page for easy access to the revised and annotated forms. A training video on these forms is available at: https://www.pattan.net/Legal/Special-Education-and-Gifted-Forms. 

LEAs are required to start using these forms by November 1, 2023.
