Revoking Your Consent
You have the right to revoke your consent for your child to continue receiving special education
and related services at any time. Such revocation of consent applies to all the special education
and related services that your child is receiving. If you disagree about a particular service, you
may address this issue with your child’s IEP team and if the issue remains unresolved, mediation
and due process are available options to resolve the matter.
• You must put this request in writing to your local director of special education, your child’s
principal, or your child’s IEP Coordinator.
• Your school division must then provide you with written prior notice before ceasing the
services for your child.
• Your school division may not use mediation or due process to attempt to change your mind
or get a hearing officer to rule against your decision.
• Your school division may not require you to explain your reasons for requesting that the
services stop for your child.
• If you change your mind later and want your child to receive services again, your school
division must treat your request as a request for an initial evaluation, rather than a re-
evaluation.
Please keep in mind that after your revocation of consent goes into effect;
• Your child is treated the same as any other non-disabled student, along with access to
accommodations, if any, that are available to non-disabled students.
• Your child’s IEP is no longer in effect.
• Your child will be subject to the discipline rules for students without disabilities.
• If your child was on the Modified Diploma track, your child will no longer be eligible for this
diploma option. Your child will have to meet all requirements of the regular diploma in
order to earn a diploma.

 Any changes in the identification of your child’s disability and for any changes to your
