- the IPRC’s recommendations regarding a special education program  and special
                        education services;
                   •  where the IPRC has decided that your child should be placed in a special education
                       class, the reasons for that decision.

               If you agree with the IPRC decision, you will be asked to indicate, by signing your name,
               that you  agree with  identification and placement decisions made by the  IPRC.  The
               statement of decision may be signed at the IPRC meeting or taken home and returned.

               If the  IPRC has identified  your child as exceptional and  you have  agreed  with the  IPRC
               identification and placement decision, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for your child will be
               developed.

               Review of Placement
               A review IPRC meeting will be held within the school year, unless the principal, receives
               written notice from you, the parent/guardian, dispensing with the annual review.

               You may request a review  IPRC meeting any time after  your  child has been in a special
               education program for three months.

               Consideration/Decision of the IPRC Review
                   •  the IPRC considers the same type of information that was originally
                       documented;
                   •  with your written permission, the IPRC conducting the review, will consider the
                         progress that your child has made in relation to the IEP;
                   •  the IPRC will review the placement and identification decisions and decide whether
                         the recommendations should be continued or whether a different decision should
                       now be made.

               Disagreeing with the IPRC Decision
               If you do not agree with either the identification or placement decision by the IPRC, you
               may:
                   •  within 15 days of receipt of the decision, request that the IPRC hold a second
                         meeting to discuss your concerns; or
                   •  within 30 days of receipt of the decision, file a notice or appeal with:
                                                            Director of Education, Anna Marie Abitong
                                            P.O. Box 610, Massey, Ontario P0P 1P0
               If you do not agree with the decision after the second meeting, you may file a notice of appeal
               within 15 days of your receipt of the decision.
               If  you do not consent  to the  IPRC decision and  you do not appeal  it, the principal  will
               implement the IPRC decision.

               Appealing an IPRC Decision
                If you disagree with the IPRC’s identification of your child as exceptional or with the placement
               decision, you may, within 30 days of receipt of the original decision or within 15 days of receipt
