May a Parent Revoke Consent for a Particular Special Education or Related Service?


According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, if a parent and LEA disagree about whether a child should receive a particular special education or related service, the parent may use mediation or due-process procedures to resolve the issue. The parent may not revoke consent for a particular service. Under 34 C.F.R. section 300.300(b)(1), parental consent is for the initial provision of special education and related services, not for a particular service or services; therefore, the parent may not revoke consent for a particular service. Revocation of consent is for all special education and related services.
