Washington BIE Special Ed Tool

Classic Path: Student Information > Special Ed > General > WA Sped

Search Terms: WA Sped

The WA Sped tab allows BIE schools within Washington to store Special Education information for geographic state reporting. Because BIE schools only have access to BIE-specific IEP and Evaluation forms, the WA Sped tool was created to facilitate BIE users in documenting and reporting WA-specific IEP or Evaluation records.
