Parents Rights

As the parent/guardian/surrogate parent of a child or youth who is receiving or may be eligible for special education services, you have certain rights according to State and Federal laws. If you have questions about these rights and procedural safeguards, please contact your local school/public agency, the area Regional Education Service Center, or Special Education Services (SES) of the Oklahoma State Department of Education. These rights and procedural safeguards are in accordance with Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations for implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the IDEA Amendments of 1997. In general, a copy of the procedural safeguards available to the parents of a child with a disability shall be given to the parents, at a minimum: upon initial referral for evaluation; upon each notification of an individualized education program (IEP) meeting; upon reevaluation of the child; and upon registration of a due process complaint requesting an impartial hearing under IDEA.  The procedural safeguards notice shall include a full explanation of the procedural safeguards, written in the native language of the parents, unless it is clearly not feasible to do so, and written in an easily understandable manner. If the native language or other mode of communication of the parent is not a written language, the State or local educational agency shall take steps to ensure that the notice is translated orally or by other means to the parent in his or her native language or other mode of communication; that the parent understands the content of the notice, and that there is written evidence that these requirements have been met.
