According to Parents Rights in Special Education (Procedural Safeguards) distributed by South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children at the State Department of Education, neither federal or state laws or regulations give parents the right to observe their children in class. A district may, however, give a parent permission to observe a child in class if doing so would not disrupt school activites and would help the district and the parents work together to develop an appropriate IEP. Many districts have policies that define the conditions under which parents and others may observe children in school and for videotaping children in the classroom.
Whenever possible, parents and schools need to work together to identify ways to help children succeed in the classroom.
