Federal law requires school officials to annually review the provisions within an IEP but does not say whether parents can or cannot record the proceedings.
The debate can pit parents against the district, with lawsuit-leery school officials questioning why parents want to record the meeting, and parents questioning why the district wouldn t want them to record.
“When you get to a point where a family feels the need to record the IEP meeting, you’ve missed the ideal opportunity to have established a partnership, a working relationship,” said former special education teacher and current School Board member Karen Rose, who added that in all her years working within the district she only once recalled a meeting being recorded.
