If the IPRC recommends placement in a special education class, it must set out the reasons for this recommendation in its decision. Parental preferences are part of the IPRC's decision making criteria for placement, but are not binding. If the parent so requests, a second meeting of the IPRC is convened as soon as possible. The school board will implement the IPRC decision as soon as possible and notify the school principal of the decision. Having received the IPRC final decision in writing, the parent must provide written consent for the placement or, if the parent is still not in agreement, begin an appeal to the Special Education Appeal Board within 15 days.
Parent is notified in writing that the student has been placed.
For students who are 14 years of age or older, the IEP must include a transition plan for post-secondary school activities such as work, further education and community living. Note that this does not apply to students whose primary identification is gifted. Parent may request a review three months after the plan has begun. A review cannot be requested more than once every three months. The parent may agree in writing to waive the annual review.
