Re: 8 VAC 20-81-50 / Child Study Committees
 

 

Re:  8 VAC 20-81-50 / Child Study Committees – I OPPOSE THE ELIMINATION OF CHILD STUDY COMMITTEESor changing the requirements from what is currently required in the existing regs.  VDOE must not leave referral procedures to the LEAs – parents must be active participants in the referral process and for protection of timelines.  Also, classroom interventions must not delay the evaluation. 

 ** Please note: I agree with and endorse the comments made by the Virginia Office for Protection and Advocacy, The Virginia Coalition for Students with Disabilities, and The Arc of Virginia **
