Evaluation (Delaware)

Evaluations are used to document the student's educational needs and the student's determination of eligibility for special education. This document describes each editor, the section(s) of the print format that include the entered information, a description of each field on the editor, and any special considerations and instructions for using the editor and fields.

An evaluation must be created whether or not the student is determined to have a disability. A copy of the evaluation summary report, including the documentation of eligibility, is given to the student’s parents by the school district.

The current print format is DE Evaluation 2024. Print formats are configured using the Special Education Evaluation Type tool.
