Who this is for
Parents who want to know when the school has to finish an evaluation or hold the IEP meeting, and case managers, school psychologists and special education teachers who track many students' deadlines.
Why a calculator?
Some deadlines are counted in calendar days and others in school days, and some states pause the clock over summer. Counting school days by hand around holidays and breaks is easy to get wrong. This calculator applies each state's rule to the calendar you enter and shows the regulation for every date so you can check it.
