STUDENTS

The Right to Withhold Information

A reasonable doubt on any aspect of a request for information, or concern about the authorization to process a request, shall be deemed sufficient reason to act in a prudent manner and to withhold all or part of the information until such time as the question is resolved.  The school shall comply with a request for information before any meeting regarding an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or hearing relating to the identification, evaluation, or placement of the student, and in no case more than 45 days after the request has been made.
