Reevaluation is conducted to determine if a student currently receiving special education still needs it, needs more services, or needs assistive technology.

• A. To identify new behavioral threats
• B. To determine ongoing need for special education and related services
• C. To change lunch status
• D. To evaluate parental involvement

Answer: (B)

Reevaluation determines whether a student who currently receives special education still needs those services, may need more services, or requires assistive technology. Under IDEA, reevaluations occur at least every three years (or sooner if requested by the parent or school) to review the student’s current performance, progress, and needs and to decide if the IEP should continue, be modified, or changed in terms of supports and related services. This process ensures the educational program matches the student’s present abilities and requirements. The other options don’t fit because identifying new behavioral threats isn’t the purpose of reevaluation, changing lunch status is unrelated to educational supports, and evaluating parental involvement is a different consideration beyond determining ongoing educational needs.
