Meeting Participation form: The Participation form is to be signed at the beginning of the IEP meeting to record the attendance. The Parents/Guardians and all IEP Team Members present at the IEP meeting will sign the Meeting Participation form. This form does have the ability to track participation for multiple continuation meetings if necessary.
Consent form: The Consent form is to be signed only by the Parents/Guardians when the IEP has come to Consent, Partial Consent, or Disagreement. The appropriate Parent Response will be selected, and the meeting can them be Finalized.
- In Preparation for the IEP meeting the Meeting Participation form is to be printed out and then presented to the Parent and IEP Team at the start of the meeting to be signed.
- If you are holding a remote meeting, the Meeting Participation form can be sent out electronically by email to the Parent and IEP Team just prior to the meeting by creating a Link/Request.
- You do not have to check meeting held to send a Link/Request for the Meeting Participation form.

- This form will be used to record Parent and IEP Team participation.

- Check Meeting Complete once the meeting is completely finished.
- Choose the appropriate Parent Response.
- If the parent attended the meeting in person and agrees to the IEP, present the Consent for Placement form to the parent for them to sign.
- Once the parent signs the Consent for Placement form in agreement, you may select the Parent Response: Accepts the Plan and then Finalize the meeting.
- When Parents accept the plan is the first selection, the MIS page is automatically updated.
- If parents accept the plan is not the first response, be sure to review the MIS Page for accuracy prior to finalizing.
- At the time of finalizing, a snapshot of the MIS page is archived as a transaction, the transaction data will be sent to CALPADS.
- This is why it is important to review MIS page prior to finalizing.
- Was an eligibility or service changes proposed? What was accepted?
- If something wasn't accepted in the IEP manager, we should not see it on the MIS page.
- For meetings that are not able to be finalized in a straight forward progression, we highly recommend MIS page be verified prior to finalizing.
- If you are waiting on signatures choose Awaiting Response (Meeting Complete must be checked to send the Consent form electronically).
- Once you receive signed Consent of the IEP from the Parent, change the Parent Response from Awaiting Response to the appropriate Parent Response and Finalize the meeting.
- If the parent response is partial consent, or partial consent (Agree to Goals) the MIS Summary page will need to be updated manually if any changes were proposed in the meeting event.
- If meeting complete is indicated, then that indication is reversed. Verify the MIS summary page has been verified as correct.
- If a meeting was reactivated for anything other than notes and/or signatures, none of that updated data will make it into SIRAS. Contact [email protected]
Please note: Verbal agreement is not enough to check Accepts the Plan, you must have a parent signature to choose Accepts the Plan
