LEA Notice 7a Language

What is a Prior Written Notice of Decision (Form 7)?

Prior Written Notice of Decision Form 7 documents decisions to the parent/guardian by the LEA to either change or not to change information about a child in the areas of evaluation, identification, educational placement and the provision of a Free and Appropriate Public Education. The form further documents the reasons for such decisions, the tests or evaluation information on which the decision was made, any other options considered prior to this decision, and any other factors which might have an effect of the decision that was reached. The form concludes with a section explaining to parents/guardians where additional resources can be found to help explain any concerns they may have regarding the information contained in the form.
