125A.24 PARENT ADVISORY COUNCILS. In order to increase the involvement of parents of children with disabilities in district policy making and decision making, school districts must have a special education advisory council that is incorporated into the district's special education system plan. (1) This advisory council may be established either for individual districts or in cooperation with other districts who are members of the same special education cooperative. (2) A district may set up this council as a subgroup of an existing board, council, or committee. (3) At least half of the designated council members must be parents of students with a disability. When a nonpublic school is located in the district, the council must include at least one member who is a parent of a nonpublic school student with a disability, or an employee of a nonpublic school if no parent of a nonpublic school student with a disability is available to serve. Each local council must meet no less than once each year. The number of members, frequency of meetings, and operational procedures are to be locally determined.

125A.25 LEGISLATIVE COMMITMENT TO CONCILIATION. Subdivision 1. Policy statement. The legislature finds that conciliation conferences pursuant to sections 125A.03 to 125A.24 and 125A.65 serve better than formal hearings to promote communications between parents and school staff and to reach prompt, shared decisions about educational programs for children with a disability. Further, the legislature urges the United States Department of Education and the United States Office of Civil Rights to acknowledge that the conciliation conference process violates no federal statute or regulation. Subd. 2. State plan. The commissioner shall not adopt any provision in the state plan for special education that reduces the opportunities for parents and school districts to resolve their differences through conciliation.

125A.31 LOCAL PRIMARY AGENCY. (a) The local primary agency must: (1) facilitate the development of annual fund requests that identify arrangements with other local and regional agencies providing services as part of the state's early childhood intervention system and that result in service availability on a year-round basis, as necessary; (2) administer funds received through the annual fund request; (3) provide oversight for data collection efforts; (4) facilitate completion of interagency early intervention committee duties as indicated in section 125A.30; (5) request mediation from the state lead agency, if necessary; (6) request assistance from the state lead agency when disputes between agencies cannot be resolved within 20 calendar days; and (7) receive written requests from parents for matters that may be resolved through due process hearings. (b) When the local primary agency is not an education agency, resources distributed under the early intervention fund must be transferred from a local educational agency to a noneducation agency using a state provided contract. A local primary agency may budget for indirect costs at an amount not to exceed five percent of the amount allocated from the early intervention fund.

125A.34 EARLY INTERVENTION RESPITE SERVICES. The provision of respite services for an eligible child and family must be determined in the context of the IFSP development based on the individual needs of the child and family and with consideration given to the following criteria: (1) severity of the child's disability and needs; (2) potential risk of out-of-home placement for the child if respite services are not provided; (3) parental lack of access to informal support systems, including, but not limited to, extended family, supportive friends, and community supports; (4) presence of factors known to increase family stress, including, but not limited to, family size and presence of another child or family member with a disability; (5) the availability of other public services provided to the family that assist the parent or primary caretaker in obtaining relief from caretaking responsibilities; and (6) the perceived and expressed level of need for respite services by the parent. Counties are encouraged to make a variety of respite service models available, which may include in or out-of-home respite, family reimbursement programs, and parent-to-parent respite projects.
