Whose IDEA Is This? Update Sept. 2009

A new federal regulation to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) provides that a parent may revoke consent for special education and related services for his or her child with a disability. The document, Whose IDEA Is This? Update Sept. 2009, summarizes the new regulation. This new information must be provided to parents no later than January 1, 2010. If districts and community schools have already made copies of Whose IDEA Is This? for use this school year, Whose IDEA Is This? Update Sept. 2009 must be printed out and

inserted into the procedural safeguards notice when providing copies to parents. In this way, new copies of Whose IDEA Is This? do not have to be made this school year.

Please note that Ohio's procedural safeguards notice, Whose IDEA Is This?, is being updated to include the new regulation related to revocation of consent for the 2010-2011 school year and must be used by July 1, 2010.

If you have questions, please contact the Office for Exceptional Children, Procedural Safeguards section at (614) 466-2650 or (877) 644-6338.
