How do children get declassified as students requiring special education services?
Students are declassified when the parents and the other members of the CSE team agree, or a hearing officer orders, that the child no longer needs special education services. If you do not want your child to receive special education services any longer, you can request a CSE meeting to determine whether s/he should be declassified. If the CSE agrees, your child will be declassified. At this time you can ask the CSE to provide declassification services, such as counseling, or tutoring, to help your child transition into the regular education environment. If the CSE does not agree you will have to request an impartial hearing. At the hearing, you should have evaluations of your child’s work and classroom performance showing that he or she no longer needs special education services.
