Documentation support for Mississippi families
Mississippi Department of Education audits SN-ESA spending against the student's IEP. iTeachWise is not an approved or listed vendor in Mississippi's SN-ESA program; it generates IEP-tagged lessons, accommodations, and per-quarter progress notes you can choose to include, and every purchase generates an itemized, timestamped purchase record formatted for scholarship documentation. Whether a purchase is reimbursed or any material counts is determined entirely by the program — confirm accepted formats with MDE before purchasing.
