Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Does anyone know if there is a certain timeframe in which the Broward Schools have to complete a reevaluation on a student once the parent signs the necessary form. My son has been due for a reeval and I signed the form that he needed back in November. He is graduating middle school and I would like to have it before he enters High School. The last one that was done on him was when he was three years old in Preschool. Any information on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I thought it was 90 school days from the time the consent form was signed. I've heard they can go longer.
