Parental Consent
 

I am opposed to the revisions in the proposed regulations which remove parental consent or change the parental consent that is in the current regulations.  The changes that have been made in the draft regulations will make it harder for parents to retain services that their children need as well as make parents utilize the costly due process system too often, causing undue financial burden on families with special needs children.  Do not take away or limit parental involvement or consent in any way. 

Thank you.
