e. The child, if appropriate.
f. A member of the evaluation team, the child's teacher, or another person
knowledgeable about the evaluation procedures used with the child and familiar with the results of
the evaluation.
g. Other individuals, at the reasonable discretion of the parents or DoDDS.
7. Each DoDDS school shall:
a. Ensure that an IEP is in effect before a child receives special education and related
services. If a child with a current IEP transfers to or from a school within DoDDS, the CSC of the
receiving school or region may implement, at its discretion, the current IEP, initiate a meeting to
revise the current IEP, or initiate an evaluation of the child.
b. Ensure that an IEP meeting is held following a determination by the school or
regional CSC that the child needs special education and related services.
c. Afford the child's parents the opportunity to participate in every IEP meeting
concerning their child by:
(1) Providing the parents adequate notice of the time and place of the meeting.
(2) Attempting to schedule the meeting at a mutually agreeable time and place.
8. A meeting may be conducted without a parent in attendance if the school is unable to
convince a parent to attend. In this case, the school must have a written record of its attempts to
arrange a mutually acceptable time and place.
9. If the parents attend the IEP meeting, the school shall take necessary action to ensure
that at least one of the parents understands the proceedings at the meeting, including providing an
interpreter for a parent who is deaf or whose native language is other than English.
10. If neither parent can attend the meeting, other methods to promote participation by a
parent, such as telephone conversations and letters, shall be used.
11. The school shall give a parent a copy of the child's IEP.
