Rescission of Consent

Educational decision makers of students referred for an initial special education evaluation or reevaluation have the right to refuse to provide consent for evaluation or rescind their consent at any time during the evaluation process. 

Educational decision makers may rescind their consent after signing the PWN giving their consent to test (verbal or written). The RED meeting must still be convened and a PWN provided even when the educational decision maker disagrees with the initial referral for evaluation. 


For further information please refer to the following document: EDM Refusal/Rescission.
