What are the criteria for parental consent?
-you’ve been fully informed about what the school wants to do. The school will typically send you a letter or document describing what will happen in detail. This is known as prior written notice. Sometimes, this notice can be hard to understand and full of unfamiliar terms. You have the right to ask the school to explain anything you don’t understand. You also have the right to receive this notice (as well as give your consent) in your native language, like Spanish or even braille.
You understand and agree in writing. Even if you say that you agree in a conversation or meeting, the school can’t proceed. The school needs your signature (or written agreement).
You understand that consent is voluntary and that you can withdraw or deny consent at any time. The school must send you a written notice of your and your child’s legal rights, called procedural safeguards.
