11. IEP Progress Reports: [8 VAC 20-81-110, pg. 154, provision of existing regulation, not included]
I oppose the proposed elimination of the current requirement that IEP progress reports be provided for students with disabilities at least as often as periodic report cards are provided to non-disabled students. There is no justification for this change.
12. Short Term Objectives [8 VAC 20-81-110, pg. 151]
I recommend the regulations clarify that IEP teams must consider including short-term objectives for all students. As every good teacher knows, reaching IEP goals is unlikely without short-term objectives.
