May Staff Discuss Information Related to a Child's Instruction Without the Parents?

According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, the answer is "yes". The comments to the federal regulations clarify that a meeting does not include informal or unscheduled conversations involving public agency personnel and conversations on issues such as teaching methodology, lesson plans, or coordination of service provision if those issues are not addressed in the child's IEP. A meeting also does not include preparatory activities that public agency personnel engage in to develop a proposal or response to a parent proposal that will be discussed at a later meeting.
