SECTION VII: PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS
Policy Statement
It is the policy of the ROP MOE to have guaranteed procedural safeguard in effect to ensure that children with disabilities and their parents have the right to decide regarding identification, evaluation, educational placement and the provision of a free appropriate public education to children with disabilities. The MOE will inform each public agency, in writing, within the ROP that provides services to children in need of special services of the necessity to implement the procedural safeguard requirements of this section for the ROP as updated in 2008. The MOE adopts the definitions for the terms “consent,” “evaluation” and “personally identifiable” from those in the implementing regulations for IDEA ’04.
