In Ohio, the Prior Written Notice to Parents form plays a crucial role in the communication between school districts and parents of children with suspected or identified disabilities. This document is designed to ensure parents are fully informed about decisions affecting their child's educational program, including evaluations, placements, and any proposed or refused actions by the school district. From initial evaluations to changes in placement, and even to procedural safeguard protections under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) of 2004, this form covers a wide range of actions and decisions. It includes detailed sections on the type of action taken, a description and explanation of the proposed or refused action, other options considered, and the basis for these decisions. Moreover, it provides parents with contact information for further inquiries and outlines their rights under procedural safeguard protections. This carefully structured document underscores the importance of clear, transparent communication and safeguarding the educational rights of children with disabilities.
