[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 208802, member: 23"] I don't recall reading in TEA regs or Fed regs a specific number of attempts must be made by the LEA. Keep in mind that this is a Procedural Safeguard issue -- by TEA. The sd MAY NOT have written or unwritten policies contrary to law. The sd best have "proof" that they sent Parent an Invitation to Meeting. Check the TEA regs, but I don't think there are any caveats which allows the sd NOT to follow procedure regarding IEP meetings. From OSEP at [url]http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/pdf/06-6656.pdf[/url] : Section 300.501(c)(4) requires a public agency to maintain a record of its attempts to contact parents prior to making a placement decision without parent participation. We believe this requirement is sufficient to ensure that a public agency holding a placement meeting with neither parent in attendance takes the necessary steps to contact parents and maintain appropriate documentation of its attempts to ensure parent participation. As a matter of practice, public agencies use a variety of methods to contact parents depending on the ways they find to be most efficient and effective for a particular situation. Public agencies take seriously their obligation to include parents in placement decisions and are in the best position to determine the records they need to demonstrate that they have taken appropriate steps to include parents in placement decisions before holding a placement meeting without a parent in attendance."
