Lecture Notes

Florida Rule 6A-6.0331. The 60 day timeframe is only implemented when it is an initial evaluation. This does not apply if your child is getting a "re-evaluation." The 60 day count starts on the day that you sign consent for an evaluation. The rule states that the student is evaluated within a period of 60 days; this includes school days in which the student is in attendance.
