School and IEP
A problem at your child's school. Keep a record of every meeting and promise.
School issues run on meetings, plans and promises, and it's easy to lose track of who said what. A dated record keeps the thread, from one term to the next.
Last updated Oct 10, 2026
You're raising something with the school
- Your child's plan, if they have one, and every version of it
- Each meeting: date, who was there, what was agreed, written up the same day
- Every email with teachers and staff
- What was promised, and whether it happened
- Reports, grades and notes home, with dates
The school has raised something about your child
- The letter, email or call, and the date
- What happened on the day, as you understand it
- What you were asked for, and when you replied
- Every meeting that followed, written up the same day
There's a letter for confirming what was said in a meeting, the same day. When you send it, it goes back into the record with its date.
How it works
One record, either way round.
Everything in one place. Your own notes, photos, files, emails, pasted texts and voice notes go into one dated register for this case.
Two dates on every entry. When it happened, and when you wrote it down. The second date can’t be changed, not by you and not by us.
Letters for both directions. 84 letters, eight of them written for the person answering. Each one fills in the facts from your record and leaves the ask blank. What you want is yours to write. Nothing is sent for you, and when you send one, it goes back into the record as a dated item.
Emails go into the case. Every case can have its own email address. Once you’ve turned it on with Copy in the case’s “Email it in” box, the emails you write from your case carry it in BCC. Emails you forward from your own sign-in address file themselves; anything else waits in Mail waiting until you check it.
Get an AI to help, if you want to. Copy a ready-made request into your own AI and bring the answer back. When it comes back as a letter draft, BuildMyEvidence checks its dates, amounts, item numbers and names against your record. There is no AI inside BuildMyEvidence.
One case file at the end. A cover, a one-page summary, the contents, then the record, numbered and dated, with every file at the back. The summary page also downloads on its own.
What it costs
Free to build. $59 once, when you want the finished file.
Building the record is free, for as long as you need it. So is reading every page of the case file, downloading any single file, and taking everything out: every file you’ve added, each with its fingerprint. You pay $59 once per case when you want to download the finished case file, the summary page or the itemized packs. No subscription. Nothing renews.
What it won’t do
It won’t tell you what happened, who’s right, or what to ask for. It doesn’t give legal advice. It keeps the record that anyone advising you would want to see.
Questions
- Should I send a summary after meetings?
- Many parents email a short note of what was agreed, the same day. That email becomes part of the record.
- Where can I take it?
- Districts and states have their own steps, and there are outside offices that hear school complaints. BuildMyEvidence doesn't give legal advice.
- Does my child's information stay private?
- Your case is visible only to your account.
