Student Services

Parents/guardians have the right to request an interpreter at an IEP meeting and that all vital IEP documents be translated in their preferred language by contacting their case manager at least 15 days prior to the IEP meeting. 

The parent/guardian has the right to decline to have a qualified interpreter present at the IEP meeting. A school district should not provide an interpreter if a parent/guardian does not provide express consent.

District 67 is required to maintain service logs that document the delivery of related services administered under your child's individualized education program (IEP) and the minutes of each type of related service that has been administered. Related services for which a log must be documented are speech and language services, occupational therapy services, physical therapy services, school social work services, school counseling services, school psychology services, and school nursing services.

Students may be excused for mental or behavioral health for up to 5 days in the school year without a medical note. The student shall be permitted to make up any work missed during a mental health absence. After a second mental health day absence is used, the student may be referred to appropriate school support personnel.

If your child's individual education plan (IEP) or 504 Plan includes special education and related services provided by our special education staff and/or related service providers, and they are eligible for Medicaid, please complete this consent form. One or more of the services included on your child's IEP or 504 qualifies for reimbursement from Medicaid. Schools routinely access Medicaid funding to help meet the costs of providing special education services. Federal special education law requires that school districts seek parental permission prior to submitting bills for reimbursement from public insurers such as Medicaid. 

The purpose of this consent form is to ask for your permission (also known as consent) to share records and information about your child with Medicaid. Granting this permission to bill Medicaid will not reduce your ability to seek other Medicaid-covered health-related services outside the school setting. This permission will not decrease lifetime coverage, increase premiums, or lead to the discontinuation of benefits, as Medicaid does not have a maximum number of eligible visits or a lifetime maximum for services.
