Awaiting Consent (Unable to Finalize)
The IEP meeting has been held, Consent and/or Participation forms have been sent out to parents and awaiting signatures, all pending form data is held in que (Review Pending Changes tab), and student goals are not updated. This meeting will not be finalized until all Links/Requests have been completed and Parent Response is changed to reflect their agreement/disagreement.

Appropriate SWDS, MEET, PLAN and SERV info are updated on MIS and reportable to CALPADS] This meeting can be finalized.

When a district holds an IEP meeting and there is a disagreement, e.g. Parent Response = ‘Does NOT Accept the Plan or Stay-Put’, the new offer of FAPE will NOT be implemented. The IEP that was agreed upon last is still in effect. In these instances, the meeting, the offer of FAPE, and the notes are all archived in SIRAS for documentation purposes (when the meeting is finalized). The steps detailed below, will ensure that the new IEP dates and offer of FAPE are documented in SIRAS, and keep the last agreed upon services and goals current. These steps would apply to meetings with partial consent, as well as cases where the new goals were not consented, and previous year’s goals will stay in place and measured on the progress report.
