of the evaluation will be provided to the parent in their native language or
other mode of communication used by the parent, unless it is not feasible to
do so.
Reasonable measures will be made to ensure that the parent attends the
meeting. This means:
A written notice is sent to the parent at least five days prior to advising
them of the meeting. This notice will inform the parents of the purpose,
date, time and location of the meeting and the name and title of those
persons who will be in attendance at the meeting. Meeting notices issued
during the 2011-12 school year and thereafter will be on a form prescribed
by the Commissioner. The parent may elect to receive the notice of
meetings by an electronic mail (e-mail) communication if the school district
makes this option available.
Prior written notice means written statements developed in accordance
with Section 200.5(a) of the Part 200 Commissioner’s Regulations, and
provided to the parents of a student with a disability a reasonable time
before the school district proposes to or refuses to initiate or change the
identification, evaluation, or educational placement of the student or the
provision of a free appropriate public education to the student. Prior
written notices issued during the 2011-12 school year and thereafter will
be on a form prescribed by the Commissioner.
At least one additional attempt is made to notify the parents. This may
mean additional written notice or a telephone call.
The parent and the school district may agree to use alternative means of
meeting participation, such as videoconferences and conference
telephone calls.
Prior to making any recommendation that would place a child in an approved
program of the agency that conducted the initial evaluation, the committee may,
at its discretion, obtain a second evaluation of the child from another approved
evaluator.
The CPSE submits a recommendation to the Board of Education and to the
parent of the preschool student within thirty (30) school days of the date of the
receipt of consent. If the Committee determines the student is ineligible for the
special education, written notification will indicate the reasons for the finding. If
the Committee determines that a student has a disability, an IEP (Individualized
Education Program) is prepared which specifies the nature of the disability, the
student’s current levels of functioning, including how the disability affects the
student’s participation in age-appropriate activities, measurable annual goals,
including benchmarks or short-term objectives, and the type of special education
