Are you truly informed of your Parental Rights?

As a parent of a student receiving special education, do you know what your parental rights are? Do you know what it means when you sign that you have been informed of your parental rights? Some parents are surprised to learn that when you sign that you have been informed of your parental rights that it actually means that you agree to what the school district is recommending for your child.

Have you been in this situation?

Here is a copy of what one district provides to parents to inform them of their parental rights when in an I.E.P. meeting or other related meeting.
