Re: special education rights

Sounds like there may be more to this story. However, for your information, the

Federal Law that governs special education (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA)

provides that a child cannot be placed in special education without a parent's consent. I must say

it's very unusual for a School District to offer services if a child doesn't need them.

But, I guess stranger things have happened. I usually represent parents that want services

and the District is denying them!
