Follow-through record

What happened after the meeting: action items, every contact with the school, each progress report against its goal, sessions scheduled and held, and a one-page chronology. Everything you type stays in this browser.

For a first pass, two sheets are essential: action items (one row per item from the meeting) and the communication log, kept from today on. That is what After the meeting asks for. The chronology becomes essential if something is not working (When you disagree). Progress check is for each report as it arrives; the service log is optional and worth keeping for a service you are unsure is happening. A reader who skips these has to reconstruct dates from memory and an inbox later.

Action items

One row per action item from the meeting (After the meeting). Copied from the meeting notes when this list is empty; add the rest by hand.

Communication log

One row per contact with the school, written the same day (After the meeting): the date, who, how, and what was asked or said. After a call, send a short email that repeats it and tick the column.

Progress check

One row per goal on each progress report (After the meeting). Compare what the report says with the goal's measure on your IEP at a glance sheet.

Service log

Optional. One row per scheduled session of a service you are tracking (After the meeting), from what you know and what the school tells you. The service time calculator uses the counts.

Chronology

One line per event, in date order (After the meeting and When you disagree): requests, notices received, meetings, reports, decisions. Name the document that shows it.

How to use this sheet

• Log the same day. One row per contact, written the day it happens: date, who, how, what was asked or said.
• Follow a call with an email. Repeat what was said in two or three sentences and tick Follow-up email sent, so the call has a written trace.
• Check each report against its goal. One progress row per goal per report. Compare what the report says with the goal's measure on your IEP at a glance sheet; "progressing" with no number is "unclear."
• Service log rows are what you know. Tick Scheduled and Held from your own knowledge and what the school tells you; the note says where each fact came from.
• The chronology is one line per event. Requests, notices received, meetings, reports and decisions, in date order, each naming the document that shows it.
