About Consent Forms

This document provides an overview of Consent. If you do not need an overview, skip this page and proceed with completing the appropriate form.

What is Consent?

Before taking certain actions to address a student's needs, the school may need to acquire informed parental consent. The three types of consent forms are:

• Consent 102a - For initial evaluations before an Assessment can be conducted.

• Consent 102b - For  Initial Provisions of Special Education and Related Services or 504 services before a plan can be developed and implemented.

• Consent 102c - For IDEA reevaluations before an Assessment can be conducted.

• Revocation of Consent 102b - For revoking consent after initially providing consent for Initial Provision of Special Education and Related Services or 504 services.

When a parent/guardian revokes consent for services, this also must be documented.
