Evaluation (North Dakota)

Tool Search: Special Ed Documents

Evaluations document a student's educational needs and determine eligibility for special education services. 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 provides the student's guardians with a copy of the evaluation summary report, which includes the eligibility documentation. See the core Plan and Evaluation Information article for information on general functionality, navigation, and additional plan and evaluation features.

The current print format is ND Evaluation 2025. North Dakota is a State Edition, and districts cannot change the evaluation format.
