Discontinuing Special Education Services
Framework (What’s Required):
-
The ARD/IEP committee determines whether a child is eligible for special education and related services. Some of the things that must be considered when making the determination include the following:
- The full and individual initial evaluation (FIIE) that determines if the student has a disability condition recognized under IDEA. CFR § 300.503
- The age ranges that are served through special education are 3 through 21 years (19 TAC 89.1035).
- Parental consent for services
Persons Responsible:
-
- Department Chairperson
- Evaluation Team
- Parent or adult student
Timelines:
Methods (What We Do):
-
Special education services shall be discontinued when one of the following occurs:
No Longer Eligible for Services- If the ARD/IEP Committee determines a student does not need specially designed instruction provided though special education as a result of the disability, the committee will determine that the student is not eligible for special education services.
- Before discontinuing services, however, the school must give the parent(s) and/or adult student prior written notice.
Services Through Age 21- Special education services are available to all eligible students ages 3 through 21.
- A student receiving special education services who is 21 years of age on September 1 of a school year shall be eligible for services through the end of that school year or until graduation with a regular high school diploma, whichever comes first. Plan Your Path
- Graduation with a regular high school diploma terminates a student's eligibility to receive special education services.
Revocation of Consent for All Special Education Services- If, at any time after the school begins providing special education and related services to the student, the parent(s) and/or adult student choose to revoke consent for services, the school must discontinue providing special education and related services to the student.
- Before discontinuing services, however, the school must give the parent(s) and/or adult student prior written notice.
- Upon obtaining a signed Prior Written Notice: Revocation of Consent for Houston Independent School District Special Education Services from the parent(s) and/or adult student, scan the consent form and email to EasyIEP@houstonisd.org . The original prior written notice consent form should be filed in the student’s special education state eligibility folder.
