Tool Search: Special Ed Documents

Evaluations document the student's educational needs and determine eligibility for special education. This document describes each editor, each field on the editor, 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. The school district gives the student's parents a copy of the evaluation summary report, including the eligibility documentation. For information on general functionality, navigation, and additional plan and evaluation features, see the core Plan and Evaluation Information article.

The current print format is the NE ESR 2024. Print formats are managed with the Special Ed Eval Types setup tool.
