After the initial Title III notification, how often must parents be provided with notifications?
Parental choice and involvement are woven throughout the entire No Child Left Behind Act. The intent of Title III, Section 3302, is for parents to be informed of the educational programs offered so that they can make informed decisions regarding their children’s placement. To have the most current information and choices available, parents must receive annual notifications. If LEAs provide separate notifications to parents regarding the various components required in Title III, records about how and when such notifications were issued should be maintained. For example, test results may be mailed to parents under separate cover, the parents’ selection of program options may be conducted in another format, and so forth.
