In the event LEA personnel are unable to resolve the matter, it should be referred to the administrator or designee and, if necessary, subsequently to the superintendent or designee. It is neither required nor desirable that an LEA employee, related service provider, student, or parent, face abusive language or behavior. This policy promotes mutual respect, civility, and orderly conduct among all parties. It is not intended to deprive any person of his/her right to freedom of expression, but only to maintain, to the extent possible and reasonable, a safe, harassment-free environment for students, parents, related service providers and LEA employees.

Responsibilities of Team Members
Each member of the team has a clearly defined role based on their area of expertise. The members are knowledgeable about the student and have knowledge about services that could benefit the student. Any individual identified as a service provider should prepare for the IEP meeting by gathering information that would indicate present level(s) of performance, progress achieved toward annual goals/short-term objectives, and other items which may be necessary for the team to consider. Parents should prepare for the meeting by considering how the student will participate in the state and district assessment, their priorities for enhancing the long-term education of their child, identifying which daily living skills the child utilizes at home; considering career/vocational outcomes for the future; identifying the child’s community participation; and learning strengths/preferences seen in the home and the community.
2.6
Involving General Education Teachers in Implementation of the IEP
The district or LEA case carrier is required to inform general education teachers of their specific responsibilities related to implementing the IEP, and the specific accommodations, modifications, and supports specified within the IEP. General education teacher access to the student’s IEP is also required.
2.7
