When must a school obtain parent/guardian consent to involve IVRS or other service providers in an IEP meeting?
A. Invitations may be extended at the discretion of the parent or the agency (school), including other individuals who have knowledge or special expertise regarding the child, including related services personnel as appropriate. The school is obligated to notify the parents/student in the meeting notice of both the intent of the meeting and a list of who has been invited to attend. IVRS may review school records to obtain information for eligibility and planning purposes (when it is appropriate) without parental consent. Other service providers require parental consent to review school records.
