Yes. The IEP team must review a student’s IEP at least annually.[1]

Also, the district must convene an IEP meeting if:

  1. A student has received an initial evaluation or a subsequent re-evaluation;
  2. The student demonstrates a lack of anticipated progress toward annual goals and in the general curriculum, if appropriate; or
  3. The parent/guardian/other education rights holder or teacher requests a meeting to develop, review, or revise the IEP.[2]

Federal law also requires that an IEP be revised as appropriate to address additional information provided to or by the parents/guardians/other education rights holders; the child’s anticipated needs; or other matters need to be resolved.[3]
