The IEP Cycle
The IEP (Individualized Education Program) process is a shared responsibility of the community, the family, and the school. The development of an IEP is also part of a cycle that begins with a particular child. The cycle has the following steps:

1. Referral: The cycle begins when either a parent or a teacher notices that your child is struggling with some aspect of his schooling and requests that he be referred for potential special education services. A committee then meets to decide whether your child's difficulties are severe enough to warrant a formal evaluation. You must give permission for the child to be evaluated. In addition, a parent must be invited to this and any other meeting regarding the identification, evaluation, or placement
Safety Alerts
The National PTA has partnered with Consumer Reports and the National School Boards Association to form the School Safety Alert Program.  The School Safety Alert program located at www.consumerreports.org/schoolsafety will alert parents, school administrators, and educators immediately to imminent dangers and allow them to remove potentially dangerous even lethal products from their homes and schools.
