[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 195602, member: 5848"] Ummm...what exactly are you asking for? Is it copies of the IEP and the evaluation report? If so, you most definitely have the right to access these documents. If you read the FERPA link below you will see that there is a difference between getting copies and accessing documents. School districts are required to give you access to documentation but are not required to give copies unless not providing copies blocks access to records (for example, if you lived out of district). Most schools will provide copies. Who in the school district refused your request? Sometimes going to the right person is what matters. If it's someone in power (principal, superintendent etc.) then my next step would be to send a certified letter with this request to the principal, superintendent etc. from a lawyer OR make a complaint to your state special education office. School district has 45 days to respond to your request to access records. Here's a helpful link. [URL]http://www.fetaweb.com/04/ferpa.summary.htm[/URL] P.S.- As a school psychiatric...If you're asking for specific copies of test protocols used in testing (e.g. WISC-4, or other standardized test protocols) then the school district must allow you an opportunity to review these records but does not have to give you a copy if they think that this violates copyright laws or endangers test security.
