Who gives permission for special education services to
begin?
You must give permission* for your child
to begin the special education program by signing a consent for placement.
Parents’ and teachers involved in
developing the IEP may sign their names on the form. The signatures represent
documentation of involvement; however, signatures are not required for the
school system to provide IEP services once consent for placement has been signed.
The JEP document is a plan for the student’s education and is not a binding
contract between the educators and the parents.
When will we review my child’s IEP?
At least once a year, your child’s IEP
will he reviewed, and it may he reviewed sooner if you or the school requests.
At the annual review meeting your child’s progress will be discussed, and goals
and objectives will he reviewed and updated. Placement options will he reconsidered, and the need for an extended school year will
he discussed.
