Revocation of Consent
Purpose:
A parent/guardian or adult student may revoke (withdraw) consent for the continued provision of special education and related services. The parent must revoke consent in writing. If a parent revokes consent in writing, the district must honor the revocation and provide the parent with prior written notice identifying the date the district will stop providing services. The district may not use due process or mediation procedures to challenge the parent’s revocation. Beginning the effective date indicated in the prior written notice, the district may no longer provide special education and related services to the child. The district is not required to amend the child’s education records to remove references to the child’s receipt of special education and delated services. Once the revocation is effective, the student is no longer entitled to receive special education or related services and the student no longer has protections under the Individuals with disabilities Education Act.
District Procedures:
(a) To ensure that all compliance paperwork is completed appropriately and in a timely manner, all revocation of consent for services must go through the school psychologist.
(b) Parents need to provide in writing a request to revoke consent for special education services or complete the district form.
(c) Upon receiving the parent’s written request to revoke consent for special education services, the school psychologist will complete the Prior Written Notice –Revocation of Consent. Services will be discontinued 10 school days from the date on the prior Written Notice. For secondary students, services can be discontinued at the end of a quarter if more appropriate.
(d) The school psychologist will notify the Director of Student Services of all cases where parents are asking for special education services to be discontinued.
(e) The DO will be notified as to the date the student will be taken off the district count and removed from the special education roster.
