  • New IEP Form

    The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has updated the IEP forms and APS will implement the new process starting in the Fall of 2024.

    The new IEP form centers on the student's vision, identifies language acquisition issues for English learners in the student profile, and intentionally addresses transition planning for all age groups.
