Which item is typically reviewed during an IEP meeting?

• A. Present levels of academic achievement and functional performance
• B. School menu options
• C. Sports team selection
• D. Student discipline records

Answer: (A)

Present levels of academic achievement and functional performance are the anchor of an IEP. This section, often called PLAAFP, describes what the student can currently do in academics and in daily functional skills, and explains how the disability affects involvement and progress in the general education curriculum. By reviewing these present levels, the IEP team uses up-to-date data to determine appropriate services, supports, and accommodations, and to set measurable annual goals. It’s the factual, current picture that guides decisions about what the student needs to succeed in school. Other options like menu choices or selecting a sports team aren’t part of the IEP decision-making focus, and discipline records aren’t the primary item reviewed unless they’re directly tied to a planned behavior goal or intervention.
