I was emailed the following question from Melodee: "....I also wonder if you would write something on pwn-prior written notice. When it comes into play, who should initiate, does the parent have to request or should the school automatically provide and when would it be appropriate to request."
Prior Written Notice is a document the school system is required to provide for a child with a disability prior to any changes to special education services. Schools are required to provide this document if a change is made or if a change was proposed. The document indicates what action was proposed or refused and why. It is a legal document and often part of an IEP.
Legally, PWN must be provided when there is a proposed change in the identification, educational placement, or evaluation of the child. If parents request a change in placement or an evaluation, PWN must be completed by the school system, even if the school system is refusing the change. Parents should not have to request this document, as it is the responsibility of the school.
