If you disagree with the proposed activity that requires written consent and do not provide your consent, the school district must take necessary steps to ensure that your child continues to receive a free appropriate public education. If you deny permission for the school district to conduct an initial evaluation or reevaluation of your child, the district may initiate due process procedures to proceed with the recommended evaluations. If you do not grant permission for your child to receive special education services, the school district cannot use due process procedures to place your child in special education. Additionally, if you refuse consent for your child's initial placement in special education, you waive all rights to special education services and protections at that time. However, you still have the right to request a reevaluation or due process hearing regarding the evaluation or the suitability of the special education and related services being offered.
