When a student with a disability reaches 18 years of age (the age of majority under State law) all
educational rights transfer from the parent(s)/guardian(s) to the student.
The Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that both parent(s)/guardian(s) and the student receive
notice of the transfer of educational rights one year prior to the student’s eighteenth birthday.
However, the parent(s)/guardian(s) will continue to receive the ten day notice prior to the date of any
special education meeting after the student turns eighteen.
On the date of age of majority, all rights pertaining to the special education program/services shall
transfer from the parent(s)/guardian(s) to the student unless the school district is otherwise notified
(e.g. Delegation of Rights to Make Educational Decisions form).
