The Frenalytics Advantage

Cracking the Case of IEP Lawsuits 

Progress Monitoring

Imagine a teacher as a navigator and a student as a traveler on a path toward mastery. Just as a navigator regularly checks a map and adjusts the route based on progress and obstacles, teachers use assessments and feedback to track student growth, identify challenges, and provide support.

This continuous progress monitoring ensures that every student stays on course, reaching their learning goals with the right guidance along the way. Frenalytics is the only platform with real-time, automated progress monitoring, to help teachers do just that.

School districts are losing millions in lawsuits because they fail to meet IEP mandates, including progress monitoring, accommodations, and data tracking. Frenalytics helps ensure compliance with these requirements, reducing legal risks and providing clear records of student progress to protect your district from costly litigation.

Legal Implications

Progress monitoring is a key element of a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), failure to properly monitor a student’s progress could lead to legal repercussions for your school.

In recent years, the implementation of progress monitoring has gained prominence, especially in light of the educational disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Supreme Court case Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools highlighted the consequences of failing to adhere to Individualized Education Program (IEP) requirements. 

In this case, the school district’s insufficient monitoring and misrepresentation of a deaf student’s progress led to a ruling in favor of the student’s family, emphasizing the legal obligation of schools to provide appropriate educational support and accurate progress monitoring.

Cases like Perez v. Sturgis highlight the growing importance of progress monitoring to ensure compliance with educational laws and support student success.

(1) save teachers time,

Give Time Back to Educators 

Unlike traditional progress monitoring, Frenalytics’ built-in assessments create and collect accurate & quantifiable data in real time, which correlates directly to each student’s IEP goals. This eliminates desk work for teachers, giving them dozens of hours back to not only focus on teaching, but eliminate burnout. 

Frenalytics’ progress reports travel with the student from year to year, propelling them forward. Shared data allow teachers to assign personalized exercises with the student’s interests and on pace with their learning goals.

Keep Parents in the Loop

Frenalytics’ charts allow parents to visualize student progress, too.

Parents are now reassured of their student’s growth, and can run sessions at home to support their child’s IEP goals. Keeping parents regularly informed about their child’s progress, with clear, objective data, prevents misunderstandings before they escalate to due process. 

If families move, they will no longer have to worry about providing their student’s IEP history.  Information and test results gathered on Frenalytics can be shared and used by subsequent schools and staff, saving time and improving consistency and accountability.
