4. DPI has added an I-7 Forward Exam Sheet to replace the I-7 SBA Sheet.  It will take some time for Skyward to update this change. DPI guidance for adding to an IEP as appropriate is: 

• We have added the I-7 Forward form to replace the I-7 SBA form.
• We recognize that many IEP teams have already conducted their annual meetings for the year. The district does not need to reconvene the IEP team for the purpose of completing the I-7 Forward form. Instead, with the agreement of the parent, you may use the I-10-A and I-10-B to update the IEP without a meeting.
