Below you will find a link to a feedback survey that parents and community team members attending any type of team meeting (Evaluation, IEP, FBA, BIP, etc.) can complete after the meeting to provide input to the ISD Special Services Department.
The data shared in the survey is and will remain anonymous in all aspects and will only be used to inform ISD's efforts towards improvements and identifying policy updates, professional development, and areas for support during team meetings.
Parents, guardians, and community team members are encouraged to provide feedback after attending a Special Education meeting (Evaluation, IEP, FBA, BIP, etc.).
*Please note this link takes you to the Issaquah School District. This survey is not being conducted or shared with the Issaquah Special Education PTSA. We share this on our website so that parents are aware they can offer their feedback in the belief that this helps ISD improve student and family outcomes for the special education families.
