Appendix B: Sample PWN 9.3 Student Exits from Special Education: Graduates with a Regular High School Diploma
Date
Parent/Guardian Address Line 1 Address Line 2 Subject: Exit from Special Education: Graduate with a High School Diploma – Johnny Doe (DOB 01/11/00) Dear Parent/Guardian, The LEA is pleased to inform you that your child, Johnny Doe, date of birth: 01/00/00 is on track to earn a high school diploma and graduate on May 26, 2012. The purpose of this letter, along with extending our sincere congratulations on Johnny’s expected high school graduation, is also to provide prior written notice pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations Section 300.503, that upon graduation, your child will no longer receive special education and related services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). As you may know, when a student graduates from high school with a regular diploma, he/she is no longer entitled to special education or services under the IDEA; nor is the school LEA legally obligated to continue providing such services to a student with disabilities after high school graduation. Johnny’s IEP team has determined that Johnny is on track to satisfy all requirements for high school graduation, as well as complete or substantially complete his IEP goals, by the end of this school term, based on the following information: For example, grades, class work, test scores, high school IEPs, assessment reports, transition plan, etc . The IEP team considered other options, for example, not awarding a high school diploma at this time and continuing to provide special education and related services to Johnny. However, those options were rejected, as Johnny is currently on track to earn a regular high school diploma and he is making progress towards his IEP goals and transition plan. As required by the IDEA, the IEP team previously held a meeting on December 1, 2011, regarding this change of placement, and determined that it is appropriate to award Johnny with a high school diploma, thereby ending his eligibility for special education and related services. As such, LEA will no longer be providing your child with special education and/or related services, effective May 26, 2012. Under the IDEA, the LEA is required to provide you with a summary of Johnny’s academic achievement and functional performance, as well as recommendations to assist Johnny in meeting his post-secondary goals. Please find the information in the enclosed document.
