(d) At least annually, to review the pupil’s progress, the individualized education program, including whether the annual goals for the pupil are being achieved, and the appropriateness of placement, and to make any necessary revisions. Activities Prior to the Meeting Each Charter LEA shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that one or both parents of a child with a disability are present at the IEP meeting or are afforded the opportunity to participate, including scheduling the meeting at a mutually agreed upon time and place. Activities include notifying the parents of the meeting early enough to ensure that they will have an opportunity to attend. If neither parent can attend, the Charter LEA shall use other methods to ensure parent participation, including individual or conference telephone calls and other reasonable accommodations. When a child reaches the age of majority, the Charter LEA shall provide notice of the IEP to both the child and the parent. If the child is, or may be, participating in the general education environment, at least one general education teacher of the child must be included in the IEP team. The notice of IEP meeting (D/M 67) shall indicate the purpose, time, and location of the meeting and who shall be in attendance. As appropriate, the child will be included in the IEP. The child’s input will be solicited if he/she is unable or unwilling to attend. The notice of IEP meeting shall inform parents of their right to bring other people to the meeting who have knowledge or special expertise regarding the child with a disability. With parental permission, each Charter LEA shall invite a representative of any other agency that is likely to be responsible for providing or paying for services, including transition services to secondary or postsecondary programs. The invitation may be in person, by telephone, or in writing. If an agency invited to send a representative to a meeting does not do so, the Charter LEA shall take other steps to obtain participation of the agency in the planning of any transition services. All efforts to include participation of agency personnel will be documented. Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations § 300.321(b)(3) indicates that the Charter LEA must acquire written consent from the parent (or a child who has reached the age of majority) for each agency that is invited to attend an IEP meeting to discuss the provision or payment of transition services.
