Parent consent means that the parents or guardian of the student has been notified and informed of the schools plan for the student and the parents or guardian has given the school signed permission to put the plan in place. In special education there are quite of few things with the IEP process and with things being added or dropped from the program that parents need to give permission for. Parents need to give consent on performing an initial evaluation or reevaluation, consent on initial IEP services, consent on any IEP changes that are material or placements that effect more than 25% of the student’s day, consent to add or cancel any services from the IEP, and consent on if a student is needing an evaluation or services from a private school
