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, 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 eligibility documentation, is given to the student’s parents by the school district.

The current print format is DE Evaluation 2024. Delaware is a State Edition and districts cannot change the evaluation format.

Editor Lock Out and Release Logic

Only one user at a time can actively work on an editor. A person with a padlock icon (Screenshot of the Padlock Icon.) displays in the Editors side panel, Editor Home, and List Screen of list editors indicating which editors currently have users working on them. Hovering over the icon displays the name of the user who has checked out the editor, including the current user (you).

Editors that are currently being edited are read-only for all other users. The name of the person working on the editor displays in the header. 

To release an editor, the user must:

  • navigate to the next editor by clicking Save and Next or the Editors button and selecting the next editor from the side panel.
  • click the Cancel button to return to the Editor Home screen.
  • log out of the Campus application.
  • navigate to a different tool in the Campus application.

Editors are automatically released when the in-application timeout limit has been exceeded. This is a back-end process and is usually around 30-60 minutes.
