EvalCamp is special education evaluation management software for Texas districts. It runs every evaluation from referral to the initial ARD, the phase before your IEP system, replacing the tracking spreadsheets districts use today with a live, shared workspace. EvalCamp calculates Texas compliance timelines automatically (15 school days to respond, 45 school days for the FIIE, 30 calendar days to the initial ARD), handling school days versus calendar days, the 3-or-more-days-absent extension, non-school days, and the June 30 end-of-year rule. It notifies the right person automatically when a task is done, and tracks parent and teacher forms and rating scales such as BASC-3 and Vineland-3. It works alongside your existing IEP system (Frontline, PowerSchool, Embrace, SameGoal, eSPED), supports FERPA with a signed Data Privacy Agreement, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and is US-hosted. Free for Texas pilot districts. Built by NetDev Studio, the team behind zconnect.io.
Built for Texas special education teams The step before your IEP system

Special ed evaluations, managed from referral to the initial ARD.

EvalCamp is evaluation management for Texas special education teams. It runs the phase before your IEP system, replacing your tracking spreadsheet: every 15-45-30 deadline calculated in school days against your calendar, and every task assigned and handed off automatically.

The grind

Sound familiar?

Your team is doing more evaluations than ever, with the same staff. The admin work shouldn't be the bottleneck.

Tracking deadlines across spreadsheets, emails, and sticky notes
Pinging five people to find out where each evaluation actually stands
Hand-counting compliance dates for every new referral
Recounting school days every time the calendar or a student's attendance changes
Losing the hours that should go to students to admin work
Texas deadlines, calculated

Let the system count the days.

Every evaluation has a clock: 15 school days to respond, 45 school days for the FIIE, 30 calendar days to the initial ARD. Today someone counts those by hand for every referral, around holidays, breaks, and absences.

EvalCamp does the counting. Update the calendar or log an absence once, and every affected timeline updates.

Here's what changes

Four things stop being your job.

See everything in one place

Every evaluation, deadline, and assignment on one screen, updating itself. No more spreadsheet hunting.

Always know what's done

The moment a task is finished, you see it. No more chasing your team for status updates.

Texas deadlines, done for you

15-45-30 calculated automatically. School days vs. calendar days handled. Breaks and absences accounted for.

Forms & rating scales, tracked

Send BASC-3, Vineland-3, consent, and parent input in a click. See who's outstanding without chasing.

The result: more evaluations done on time, with the team you already have.

Texas funding

Funding follows finished evaluations.

Texas now funds districts $1,000 for every completed initial evaluation (HB 2 / TEC §48.159). The more evaluations your team finishes on time, the more of that funding your district captures. EvalCamp helps the work get done, so the evaluations you're already doing are fully counted.

How it works

Simple from day one.

No migration project. No training week. Enter a date and the workspace runs itself.

Here's what your team does: very little. Send us your current tracker and we load your active evaluations for you. Your coordinator's first job is just to look. Most teams are running within a week.

  1. 1

    Load your evaluations

    Start fresh or bring your current list, and we help you move it over.

  2. 2

    Deadlines set themselves

    Enter a referral or consent date; timelines calculate against your calendar.

  3. 3

    Assign your team

    Everyone sees their tasks, their deadlines, and what's waiting on them.

  4. 4

    Send forms in a click

    Parent and teacher forms go out with editable messages, and you see who replied.

  5. You always know where things stand

    The moment a task is done, it shows as done. No status emails, no “where are we?” meetings.

Form & rating-scale chase

Stop chasing the same forms twice.

Your evaluators spend hours a week sending form requests: copying links, rewriting emails, tracking who replied, following up.

  • Pick a form, pick a parent or teacher, send.
  • Pre-written messages you can customize.
  • See sent and returned at a glance.
  • One-click reminders, no rewriting.

Status without the chase

Stop chasing your team for status.

You shouldn't have to ask five people where each evaluation stands. When a task is done in EvalCamp, the people who need to know, including you, see it the moment it happens. No status meetings, no check-in emails.

Everyone stays aligned without the email overhead.

Works alongside your IEP system

Keep the IEP system you already have.

EvalCamp runs the evaluation work from referral to the initial ARD, then hands a clean record to your IEP system. It orchestrates your diagnostician, LSSP, SLP, and OT through the evaluation window: who owns which task, by when, and who is notified when it's done. Not replacing what works. Just filling the gap your spreadsheets fill today.

Frontline PowerSchool Embrace SameGoal eSPED

It even keeps the part of the spreadsheets your team loves, the hyperlinked student folders, with Student Links on every evaluation.

REED & the three-year clock

Review of Existing Evaluation Data is a first-class workflow: track the triennial, run the review, record the determination. When the outcome is consent for new testing, the reevaluation starts itself.

Shipped

Evaluation lifecycle, in phases

Referral → In Progress → Finalization → Closed, with your internal target date and the legal deadline side by side. Nothing reads as finished while ARD work is still open.

Shipped

Template compliance to-dos

The right steps appear for the right evaluation type, automatically. Set assignees, notifications, and internal due dates once in settings.

Security & privacy

Your student data stays yours.

We sign your district's Data Privacy Agreement before any real data is entered. A signed agreement, not just a badge.

Read our security approach

SOC 2 in progress. Hosted in the US. We'd rather show you exactly how we protect your data than wave a badge. Ask us anything.

FERPA school-official basis

We perform a service your district would otherwise do in-house.

Encrypted, end to end

In transit and at rest. US-hosted, with daily backups.

Role-based access

People see only what their role allows. No third-party analytics on student data.

You own your data

Export anytime. On termination, we delete and certify it in writing.

Why we built it

Special education staff do some of the most important work in a school, and some of the least supported. They carry dozens of legal deadlines in their heads, chase forms, and rebuild the same spreadsheets year after year. We know, because one of them is family. We built EvalCamp so special education teams can spend less time tracking and more time with their students.

EvalCamp is built by NetDev Studio, the team behind zconnect.io. We're building it for the long run, and your data is yours, exportable in standard formats from day one, so you're never locked in.

Pricing

Simple pricing, and free to start.

EvalCamp is free to start for pilot districts. When you're ready to continue, pricing is simple: one annual price based on the district size (district enrollment). Unlimited students, unlimited evaluations, unlimited seats, no surprises.

FAQ

Common questions.

Doesn't our IEP system already do this?+

Your IEP system generates the documents and flags an overdue date after the fact. What it doesn't do is orchestrate your diagnostician, LSSP, SLP, and OT through the evaluation window: who owns which task, by when, and who's notified when it's done. That coordination is the part most teams still run in a spreadsheet. That's the part EvalCamp runs.

Do we have to replace Frontline / eSPED / PowerSchool?+

No. EvalCamp works alongside your IEP system. It handles the evaluation tracking and team coordination from referral to the initial ARD meeting, where eligibility is determined and the first IEP is written. Then your IEP system does the IEP. Keep what works.

How is student data protected?+

We sign your district's Data Privacy Agreement before any real data is entered, act as a FERPA school official, encrypt data in transit and at rest, host in the US, and never sell or share student data. You own your data and can export or delete it anytime.

What about breaks, absences, and recalculating deadlines?+

Set your academic calendar once and add non-school days as they happen. When the calendar changes or a student's absences extend a timeline, every affected deadline recalculates automatically, with no spreadsheet surgery.

Will this help our RDA standing and SPP 11 (Timely Initial Evaluation / Child Find)?+

EvalCamp keeps every Texas timeline visible and current and surfaces what's coming due, so your team can stay ahead of the initial-evaluation indicator your district is held to. Board- and state-ready summaries are in active development with our founding cohort. Ask for a preview in the demo.

Can contract or multi-district evaluators use it?+

Yes. EvalCamp supports a contractor role, and because it works alongside whatever IEP system each district uses, an evaluator serving several districts can coordinate their work in one place.

Does EvalCamp handle 504s?+

EvalCamp is built for special education evaluations: initial evaluations and reevaluations, from referral to the initial ARD meeting. It doesn't manage 504 plans. Your 504 system keeps doing that.

What does it cost, and can we try it first?+

Pricing is one annual price based on your district size (district enrollment), and we're running a free pilot for Texas districts now. The best next step is a 30-minute demo.

The founding cohort

What it means to be a founding partner

We're taking five Texas districts into the founding cohort for the 2026-27 school year. Founding partners get:

  • The full product, free through the 2026-27 pilot, with founding pricing locked for 3 years afterward.
  • White-glove setup. We load your active evaluations for you.
  • A direct line to the people building it. Your team shapes what ships next.

And trying it risks nothing. EvalCamp runs alongside your IEP system. Your official compliance record never leaves eSPED, Frontline, or whatever you use today. EvalCamp is the coordination layer on top. Put it down anytime and lose nothing.

Ready to give your team their time back for students?
