IEP ONLINE - From Carrie Matthews and Doug Pierce (NSD Special Education Directors): "As you go into your child’s IEP meeting this year, you will notice some significant changes in how the IEP looks.  The district has adopted a web-based program called IEP Online, and the appearance of the document is quite different.  Please know that the requirements of the IEP process have not changed, just the look of the forms.  Some families have found them easier to read."  Click here to see a "Training Sample" of the document.
