Special Ed Documents can be set up to allow parents/guardians and/or students to electronically sign documents that are made available on Campus Parent and/or Campus Student. As of Campus.2120 (May 2021) and Campus.2124 (June 2021), both Locked and Draft Special Ed IEPs, Evaluations, Progress Reports, and Prior Written Notices (Ohio only) display on the Portal. Parents/guardians and students can review these documents and then electronically sign a consent form attesting to the document's accuracy.
Currently, there are two ways to add eSignatures to Special Ed Documents; one is using the Custom Forms eSignature functionality within Campus and the other is using a third-party program such as DocuSign. This document provides an overview of how the eSignature process works for Special Ed Documents.
Note: the Custom Form eSignature functionality is only available on the Forms tool.
