Individual Placement and Review Committee (IPRC) meetings and waivers
If your child has a designated exceptionality, such as Giftedness, Learning Disability, Autism, Deaf and Hard of Hearing or Physical Disability, you will be asked to attend an IPRC meeting with the Learning Support Teacher, guidance counsellor, and school administration, in order to review your child's programming and placement at our school. If the student is aged 16 or over, he/she may also be invited to attend this meeting.
Every year, in order to keep IEPs active and current, an IPRC waiver form is sent home with the first IEP in October. Please complete, sign, date and return to the Learning Support Teacher as soon as possible.
The IPRC waiver states that parents and guardians can:
- waive the right to an IPRC, citing that the exceptionality and placement are still valid and that a meeting is not required.
- request a meeting to review the exceptionality and placement
IPRC meetings are typically held in the month of November, however, may be held anytime the need arises.
If your child is does not have a formal exceptionality, IPRC meetings are not required.
