When is a PWN typically provided in relation to a re-evaluation?

• A. After the Re-Evaluation Is Completed
• B. Before the Re-Evaluation Begins
• C. One Year After the Re-Evaluation
• D. Only If Requested

Answer: (B)

Prior Written Notice should precede a reevaluation. The school must inform parents in writing about any proposed actions (including starting a reevaluation), what will be evaluated, why the reevaluation is needed, who will conduct the assessments, and the expected timeline. Providing this notice before the reevaluation begins lets parents understand the plan, ask questions, and participate in decisions before any testing starts. Giving it after the reevaluation, or only if asked, would bypass this crucial step and undermine informed parental involvement.
