What Does the LEA do if Parents Refuse Consent for a Reevaluation?

According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, the LEA must try to obtain consent from the parents. The LEA may, but is not required to seek to mediate the dispute or request a due process hearing to pursue the reevaluation. The LEA would not violate the requirement to conduct a reevaluation if it declines to pursue the reevaluation when the parent refuses to provide consent. The school would continue to serve the child according to the IEP.
