REFERRAL PROCESS
Once the Child Study Team determines that a comprehensive special education evaluation is warranted, a member of the team sends out a Parent/Guardian Questionnaire and processes the special education referral through the Special Education office. When the parent questionnaire has been completed and returned, the Special Education office secretary will contact the student's parents to arrange having them sign the Consent for Initial Special Education Evaluation form. The secretary will also provide the parents a copy of the Special Education Parent Handbook with Procedural Safeguards at that time. Upon receipt of the signed consent form, the evaluation process is initiated.
