The signature line for parental consent for secondary transition agency participation has been moved from the IEP cover page to the meeting invitation. This change was made to align with the state’s IEP forms.
The new text reads:
- This issue is not applicable to <student> (no signature required for this option).
- I give my consent for agency participation.
- I do not give my consent for agency participation.
Only options #2 and #3 require a parent signature. You no longer need to list the specific agencies. If a parent consents to one agency and not another, that can be documented in the Written Notice.
Because this is now on the meeting invitation rather than the cover page, please be sure that you have a printed copy of the invite available at the meeting so that the parent can sign.
