State law prompts change: parents may record IEP meetings; district must record as well, board told
Summary
Board members reviewed policy 2461 reflecting state law that permits parents to record IEP meetings and requires the district to record when a parent records; the board asked administrators to develop safeguards and administrative guidance.
Richmond Community Schools board members reviewed policy 2461, which was revised to comply with state law permitting parents to record IEP meetings and case conferences.
Staff explained the statute prevents districts from maintaining a policy that bars parents or students from recording an IEP-related meeting. The draft requires that if a parent records an IEP or case conference, the school corporation also record the meeting and that parents provide notice prior to the meeting date in administrative practice. One staff member said the district will develop administrative guidelines and protocols to protect both families and staff and suggested the cabinet will review procedures for ensuring meetings are recorded when parents record.
Board members asked how notice should operate and staff indicated the draft contemplates notice “prior to the date” and that administrative detail would follow. No formal vote was recorded; staff will prepare administrative protocols and guidance consistent with the statute and return to the board as needed.
