Parental Rights For Public School Special Education Students
This brochure provides an overview of parental special education rights, sometimes called procedural safeguards. This notice must be provided in your own language or any other mode of communication you may be using. These same procedural safeguards are also available for students with disabilities who have reached the age of 18. This Notice of Procedural Safeguards must be given to you at least one time per year, and it must also be given to you:

1. The first time your child is referred for a special education evaluation;
2. If you or the district requests a due process hearing; or
3. Upon your request.
