Special Education Evaluation Delays: Joint Action in Nye County
Voices for All Abilities (VFAB) and the Pahrump Disability Outreach Program (PDOP) are fighting back against district evaluation waitlists.
If your child was referred for a special education evaluation in Nye County and you have been told the district is “working down a list,” or if your request has gone months without a formal written notice, you are not alone.
VFAB and PDOP are submitting a formal Joint Systemic State Complaint to the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) to mandate immediate outside evaluator contracting and compensatory education.
What this action does
- Documents the scope of evaluation delays and missing written notices across Nye County families.
- Requests that NDE require the district to contract outside evaluators immediately so assessments are completed within legal timelines.
- Seeks compensatory education for students harmed by delays, so kids do not lose ground while waiting for services.
- Keeps families informed and connected throughout the complaint process.
