RE:      Updated Copies of Procedural Safeguards Notice

Later this summer, the Oregon Department of Education will be delivering copies of the May 2010 Procedural Safeguards Notice, detailing the rights of adult students and parents of children with disabilities, to districts and programs throughout the state.  The May 2010 Procedural Safeguards Notice will replace the October 2007 version and has been updated to reflect changes that have take place since the publication of the prior version.

As in prior years, ODE will be providing three versions of the notice: a version for parents of children receiving Early Intervention and Early Childhood Special Education, a version for parents of school-aged children, and a version for adult students.  The number of bulletins shipped to districts and programs will be based on the December 2009 Special Education Child Count including a small surplus; additional copies can be requested from ODE as necessary.

The only substantive change from the prior version affected the section on parental consent for the provision of special education and related services.  That section has been revised to clarify, consistent with federal regulations, that parents and adult students may revoke consent for the provision of special education services at any time during the delivery of those services.  Other changes were limited to updating contact information and addressing minor editorial issues.

The May 2010 Procedural Safeguards Notice contains the most accurate information for parents and adult students.  Therefore, upon release of the new version, copies of the October 2007 version should no longer be distributed and should be destroyed.

ODE is projecting an August delivery date for English language copies of the three versions of the May 2010 Procedural Safeguards Notice.  ODE will also be providing districts and programs with copies of the notices in Chinese, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese.  ODE is projecting an early September delivery for the non-English language copies. Please find a copy of the English versions of all three documents attached to this message.

After districts and programs have received hard copies of the May 2010 Procedural Safeguard Notice, ODE will post all versions and translations of the notice on the ODE website.  Once posted, the new versions will be available at http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=261.

If you have any questions or comments about the publication and distribution of the May 2010 Procedural Safeguards Notice, please contact Ty Manieri at tmanieri at state.or.us<mailto:tmanieri at state.or.us> or (503)947-5689.
