Special Education - Prior Written Notice
(Separate Website)
One easy and effective strategy available to parents who disagree with a school about special education for their child is to request that the school (or school district) notify the parents in writing of all proposed changes in, or refusals to change, their child?s special educational program. IDEA regulations (34 C.F.R. Sec. 300.503) require a school to give parents written notice a reasonable time before it acts regarding their child?s identification, evaluation or educational placement. Though required, prior written notice is rarely given unless parents request it.

One immediately thinks about tests like the high school exit exam, Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and final examinations for individual courses. However, testing of all kinds, whether a daily quiz or chapter test, is equally important.
