BIE Special Ed Tool (Washington)

Tool Search: WA Sped

The WA Sped tab allows BIE schools within Washington to store Special Education information for geographic state reporting. Because BIE schools only have access to BIE-specific IEP and Evaluation forms, the WA Sped tool was created to facilitate BIE users in documenting and reporting WA-specific IEP or Evaluation records.
