Once a Child Has Been Exited From Special Ed Services, Must You Complete an Initial Eval Upon a Referral To Determine Need for Special Education?

According to Parents Rights in Special Education (Procedural Safeguards) distributed by South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children at the State Department of Education, the answer is no. "Once the child has been identified as a child with a disability, even though s/he may have been exited, all subsequent evaluation would be a reevaluation. The reevaluation must include all the same requirements for an initial evaluation and a review of existing data. If there is enough current data available, there may not need to be any further assessments."
