PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE WHEN PARENT REVOKES CONSENT TO SPECIAL EDUCATION AND RELATED SERVICES

              

If at any time subsequent to the initial provision of special education and related services, the parent of a child revokes consent in writing for the continued provision of special education related services, the LEA:

 

·         May not continue to provide special education and related services to the child, but must provide Prior Written Notice before ceasing the provision of special education and related services;

 

·         May not use the procedures of due process;

 

·         Will not be considered in violation of the requirement to make FAPE available to the child because of the failure to provide the child with further special education and related services; and

 

·         Is not required to convene an IEP team meeting or develop an IEP for the child for further provision of services.

 

Fill out the appropriate blanks in the template letter (see sample on following page).
