The Special Education Process
• Referral Received – District has 15 business days to meet with the parent(s) to determine suspected area(s) of disability
• Permission to Evaluate – District has 60 calendar days to evaluate and meet with parent(s) to review results
• Student found Eligible – District has 30 calendar days to develop an IEP and meet with parent(s) to review
• IEP agreed upon – District must propose placement (determined based on Least Restrictive Environment)
• School vacations, world-wide health pandemics, weather cancellations, etc. do not interrupt the timelines

• To maintain compliance with IDEA and the NH Standards for the Education of Children with Disabilities.
• Requests are intended to decrease the number of Out of District Placement referrals by ensuring students’ IEPs and unique needs can be met within the Nashua School District while continuing to support our staff.
