Reevaluation occurs every 3 years, and the school must conduct a new assessment unless the parents request it.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if the parents request it
• D. Only if the student changes schools

Answer: (A)

Reevaluation is part of the ongoing process to determine a student’s current needs and continued eligibility for special education. Schools are required to conduct a new evaluation at least every three years to ensure decisions are based on up-to-date information about the student’s abilities, progress, and supports. Parents also have the right to request a reevaluation at any time, and when they do, the district must carry out the assessment. So the timing is anchored to a three-year minimum, and parental requests can trigger reevaluation—this aligns with the statement that reevaluation occurs every three years and that a new assessment is conducted, with parent input influencing when it happens.
