IEE
Independent Educational Evaluation
What it actually means for your child.
Legal Definition
An IEE is an evaluation conducted by a qualified professional who is not employed by the school district. Parents have the right to request an IEE at public expense (the school pays for it) when they disagree with the school's evaluation. The school must either fund the IEE or file for due process to defend their own evaluation.
Why You Must Care
An IEE gives you a second opinion from an independent expert. The school must consider the IEE results when developing or revising the IEP.
