additional assessment; however, best practice is if the CSC can avoid extending the timeline and remain
within the original 45 days that is recommended.
If the CSC decides additional assessment procedures are required in an area for which parent’s informed
consent/permission was not previously obtained, then informed parental consent must be obtained
prior to conducting the additional assessment:
The need will be documented on a second Minutes of CSC Meeting and Assessment Planning
form; and
Parent permission for the additional assessments must be obtained on an additional Parent
Permission to Assess Form. The new parent permission gives the CSC an additional 45 days to
complete the additional assessment(s). It does not extend the timeline for completion of the
assessments from the first parent permission. Depending on the type of assessment(s), the CSC
may adjust the timeline for completion of the assessments to an earlier date. The timeline for
holding the eligibility meeting is also extended because of the need to conduct the additional
assessments.
