Options and Requirements
For Providing Assistance to Students Who Have
Learning Difficulties or Who Need or May Need
If a child is experiencing learning difficulties, the parent may
contact the person listed below to learn about the district’s overall general
education referral or screening system for support services. This system links students to a variety of
support options, including referral for a special education evaluation. Students having difficulty in the regular
classroom should be considered for tutorial, compensatory, and other academic
or behavior support services that are available to all students.
At any time, a parent is entitled to request an evaluation for special
education services. Within a reasonable
amount of time, the district must decide if the evaluation is needed. If evaluation is needed, the parent will be
notified and asked to provide informed written consent for the evaluation. The district must complete the evaluation and
the report within 60 calendar days of the date the district receives the written
consent. The district must give a copy of the report to the parent.
If the district determines that the evaluation is not needed, the
district will provide the parent with a written notice that explains why the
child will not be evaluated. This
written notice will include a statement that informs the parent of their rights
if they disagree with the district.
Additionally, the notice must inform the parent how to obtain a copy of
the Notice of Procedural Safeguards - Rights of Parents of
Students with Disabilities.
