Procedural Safeguards Notice

A Procedural Safeguards Notice is a document provided to parents or guardians of students with disabilities, explaining their rights and protections under special education laws. It outlines how they can participate in the planning and decision-making process, access services, and resolve disagreements with the school. Essentially, it ensures families are aware of their legal rights and the processes in place to ensure their child receives a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). The notice promotes transparency, helps prevent misunderstandings, and encourages collaboration between families and schools to support the child's learning needs.
