Revocation of Parental Consent: State Approaches. inForum
Muller, Eve
Project Forum
The purpose of this document is to determine whether revocation of parental consent is currently posing a challenge for states and to describe how states are responding to this new provision. Although parental consent has always played a central role in Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the new provision allowing revocation of parental consent has created moderate challenges for a significant number of states. Most states are addressing these challenges via guidance and technical assistance (TA) for local special education directors and their staff; revisions to state regulations or special education policies and procedures; and/or sample notice forms. States are primarily ensuring that parents are informed of their new rights through revision of parental safeguard notices, but also through revisions to parent handbooks and creation of sample revocation forms. Although only a few states currently collect data on revocation of parental consent, a number now address revocation through their monitoring procedures. (Contains 2 footnotes.)
