If the Eligibility Determination Team Can't Reach Consensus, Who Makes the Decision?


According to Parents Rights in Special Education (Procedural Safeguards) distributed by South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children at the State Department of Education, teams should try to reach consensus about the eligibility decision for special education. If a member of the district team does not agree with the others, they are able to record their disagreement on the eligibility report. However, if the team cannot reach agreement, the final decision rests with the person who serves as the local education representative at the eligibility determination meeting.
