EDUCATION LAW GROUP: COVID-19 UPDATE – PARENTAL WAIVERS VIOLATE IDEA

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) guidance confirms that school districts may not legally require waivers of rights or consents to delivery of virtual services as a condition for the delivery of special education or related services during this COVID-19 public emergency. The guidance states that the districts’ actions in requiring these waivers or consents violate IDEA and NJDOE regulations. A true win for parents and children.

If you signed a waiver/release or a consent to obtain virtual services for your child and your district refuses to return the original to you, please contact the Education Law Group at 201-391-3737 or specialed@pricemeese.com.

With over 25 years’ combined experience, the EDUCATION LAW GROUP at PRICE, MEESE, SHULMAN & D’ARMINIO, P.C. provides virtual consultations to assist families with any and all educational needs.
