I. Child Study ProceduresThe district’s identification system is developed according to the requirement of nondiscrimination as Rochester STEM Academy does not discriminate in education on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, or disability.

A. IdentificationRochester STEM Academy serves students Grades 8 – 12. Rochester STEM Academy does not service students under the category of Part C. Rochester STEM Academy’s plan for identifying a child with a specific learning disability is consistent with Minnesota Rule 3525.1341 using the discrepancy model. Rochester STEM Academy’s plan for identifying a child with a specific learning disability is attached as Appendix A.

Referral Process

Rochester STEM Academy utilizes its Intervention/Child Study committee to assist with the implementation of Response to Intervention (RTI initiatives), which is the preferred pre-referral process method and potential identifier of special education evaluation and eligibility. While the RTI process is not actively in place, at this time it is used to ensure that appropriately research-based interventions are being implemented for Rochester STEM students. It is not yet being used as a method to identify Specific Learning Disabilities through the SRBI approach. Rochester STEM employs the discrepancy model (Criteria A, B, and C) as its method for identifying students with a Specific Learning Disability. This practice is consistent with Minnesota Rule 3525.1341.

Rochester STEM Academy will proceed with the discrepancy model until it is determined that the Team has all of the required components and processes in place to use the SRBI (Criteria D) approach with fidelity and integrity in place to identify Specific Learning Disabilities.

B. EvaluationThe evaluation used to determine whether a child is eligible for Special Education services must be conducted in a manner consistent with Code of Federal Regulations, title 34, part 303.321. It must be

Rochester STEM Academy TSES

based on informed clinical opinion; and must be multidisciplinary in nature, involving two or more disciplines or professions; and must be conducted by personnel trained to utilize appropriate methods and procedures. The evaluation must include:

The evaluation must include:

A. A review of the child’s current records related to health status and medical history;

B. An evaluation of the child’s levels of cognitive, physical, communication, social or emotional, and adaptive developmental functioning;

C. An assessment of the unique needs of the child in terms of each of the developmental areas in item B; and

D. At least one documented, systematic observation in the child’s daily routine setting by an appropriate professional or, if observation in the child’s daily setting is not possible, the alternative setting must be justified.

The team shall conduct an evaluation for special education purposes within a reasonable time not to exceed 30 school days from the date the district receives parental permission to conduct the evaluation or the expiration of the 14-calendar day parental response time in cases other than initial evaluation, unless a conciliation conference or hearing is requested.

Rochester STEM Academy conducts full and individual initial evaluation before the initial provision of special education and related services to a pupil. The initial evaluation shall consist of procedures to determine whether a child is a pupil with a disability that adversely affects the child’s educational performance as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 125A.02, who by reason thereof needs special education and related services, and to determine the educational needs of the pupil. The district proposing to conduct an initial evaluation to determine if the child qualifies as a pupil with a disability shall obtain an informed consent from the parent of the child before the evaluation is conducted. Parental consent for evaluation shall not be construed as consent for placement for receipt of special education and related services. The District will not override the written refusal of a parent to consent to an initial evaluation or re-evaluation.

Evaluation ProceduresEvaluations and reevaluations shall be conducted according to the following procedures:

A. Rochester STEM Academy shall provide notice to the parents of the pupil, according to Code of Federal Regulations, title 34, sections 300.500 to 300.505, that describes any evaluation procedures the district proposes to conduct.

B. In conducting the evaluation, Rochester STEM Academy shall:

(1) Use a variety of evaluation tools and strategies to gather relevant functional and developmental information, including information provided by the parent, that are designed to assist in determining whether the child is a pupil with a disability and the content of the pupil’s individualized education program, including information related to enabling the pupil to be involved in and progress in the general curriculum.

(2) Not use any single procedure as the sole criterion for determining whether a child is a pupil with a disability or determining an appropriate education program for the pupil; and



(3) Use technically sound instruments that are designed to assess the relative contribution of cognitive and behavioral factors, in addition to physical or developmental factors.

C. Rochester STEM Academy ensures that:

(1) Tests and other evaluation materials used to evaluate a child under this part are selected and administered so as not be discriminatory on a racial or cultural basis, and are provided and administered in the pupil’s native language or other mode of communication, unless it is clearly not feasible to do so;

(2) Materials and procedures used to evaluate a child with limited English proficiency are selected and administered to ensure that they measure the extent to which the child has a disability and needs special education and related services, rather than measure the child’s English language skills;

(3) Any standardized tests that are given to the child have been validated for the specific purpose for which they are used, are administered by trained and knowledgeable personnel, and are administered in accordance with any instructions provided by the producer of such tests;

(4) The child is evaluated in all areas of suspected disability, including, if appropriate, health, vision, hearing, social and emotional status, general intelligence, academic performance, communicative status, and motor abilities;

(5) Evaluation tools and strategies that provide relevant information that directly assists persons in determining the educational needs of the pupil are provided;

(6) If an evaluation is not conducted under standard conditions, a description of the extent to which it varied from standard conditions must be included in the evaluation report;

(7) Tests and other evaluation materials include those tailored to evaluate specific areas of educational need and not merely those that are designed to provide a single general intelligence quotient;

(8) Tests are selected and administered so as best to ensure that if a test is administered to a child with impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills, the test results accurately reflect the child’s aptitude or achievement level or whatever other factors the test purports to measure, rather than reflecting the child’s impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills, unless those skills are the factors that the test purports to measure; and

(9) In evaluating each pupil with a disability, the evaluation is sufficiently comprehensive to identify all of the pupil’s special education and related service needs, whether or not commonly linked to the disability category in which the pupil has been classified.

D. Upon completion of administration of tests and other evaluation materials, the determination of whether the child is a pupil with a disability as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 125A.02, shall be made by a team of qualified professionals and the parent of the pupil in accordance with item E, and a copy of the evaluation report and the documentation of determination of eligibility will be given to the parent.

E. In making a determination of eligibility under item D, a child shall not be determined to be a pupil with a disability if the determinant factor for such determination is lack of instruction in reading or math or limited English proficiency, and the child does not otherwise meet eligibility criteria under parts 3525.1325 to 3525.1351.



Additional requirements for evaluations and reevaluationsA. As part of an initial evaluation, if appropriate, and as part of any reevaluation under this part, or a

reinstatement under part 3525.3100, the IEP team and other qualified professionals, as appropriate, shall:

(1) Review existing evaluation data on the pupil, including evaluations and information provided by the parents of the pupil, current classroom-based assessments and observations, and teacher and related services providers observation; and

(2) On the basis of the review, and input from the pupil's parents, identify what additional data, if any, are needed to determine whether the pupil has a particular category of disability, as described in Minnesota Statutes, section 125A.02, or, in case of a reevaluation of a pupil, whether the pupil continues to have such a disability, the present levels of performance and educational needs of the pupil, whether the pupil needs special education and related services, or in the case of a reevaluation of a pupil, whether the pupil continues to need special education and related services, and whether any additions or modifications to the special education and related services are needed to enable the pupil to meet the measurable annual goals set out in the individualized education program of the pupil and to participate, as appropriate, in the general curriculum.

B. The district shall administer such tests and other evaluation materials as may be needed to produce the data identified by the IEP team under item A, subitem (2).

C. Each district shall obtain informed parental consent, in accordance with subpart 1, prior to conducting any reevaluation of a pupil, except that such informed parental consent need not be obtained if the district can demonstrate that it had taken reasonable measures to obtain such consent and the pupil's parent has failed to respond.

D. If the IEP team and other qualified professionals, as appropriate, determine that no additional data are needed to determine whether the pupil continues to be a pupil with a disability, the district shall notify the pupil's parents of that determination and the reasons for it, and the right of such parents to request an evaluation to determine whether the pupil continues to be a pupil with a disability, and need not be required to conduct such an evaluation unless requested to by the pupil's parents.

E. A district shall evaluate a pupil in accordance with federal requirements determining that the pupil is no longer a pupil with a disability.

F. Rochester STEM Academy intends to use restrictive procedures in the cases of emergency only. See the attached Restrictive Procedure Plan (Appendix B). The district follows the restrictive procedure statute, Minnesota Statute 125A.094-125A.0942.

Procedures for determining eligibility and placementA. In interpreting the evaluation data for the purpose of determining if a child is a pupil with a disability

under Minnesota Rule 3525.1325 to 3525.1351 and the educational needs of the child, the school district shall:

(1) Draw upon information from a variety of sources, including aptitude and achievement tests, parent input, teacher recommendations, physical condition, social or cultural background, and adaptive behavior; and

(2) Ensure that the information obtained from all of the sources is documented and carefully considered.

B. If a determination is made that a child is a pupil with a disability who needs special education and related services, an IEP must be developed for the pupil according to Minnesota Rule 3525.2810.



Evaluation reportAn evaluation report must be completed and delivered to the pupil's parents within the specified evaluation timeline. At a minimum, the evaluation report must include:

A. A summary of all evaluation results;

B. Documentation of whether the pupil has a particular category of disability or, in the case of a reevaluation, whether the pupil continues to have such a disability;

C. The pupil's present levels of performance and educational needs that derive from the disability;

D. Whether the child needs special education and related services or, in the case of a reevaluation, whether the pupil continues to need special education and related services; and

E. Whether any additions or modifications to the special education and related services are needed to enable the pupil to meet the measurable annual goals set out in the pupil's IEP and to participate, as appropriate, in the general curriculum.

C. Plan for Receiving ReferralsRochester STEM Academy’s plan for receiving referrals from parents, physicians, private and public programs, and health and human services agencies is attached as Appendix C.

II. Method of Providing the Special Education Services for the Identified Pupils

B. Due Process assurances available to parents: Rochester STEM Academy has appropriate and proper due process procedures in place to assure effective and efficient results of child study procedures and method of providing special education services for the identified pupils, including alternative dispute resolution and due process hearings. A description of these processes are as follows:

(1) Prior written notice to a) inform the parent that except for the initial placement of a child in special education, the school district will proceed with its proposal for the child’s placement or for providing special education services unless the child’s parent notifies the district of an objection within 14 days of when the district sends the prior written notice to the parent; and b) state that a parent who objects to a proposal or refusal in the prior written notice may request a conciliation conference or another alternative dispute resolution procedure.

(2) Rochester STEM Academy will not proceed with the initial evaluation of a child, the initial placement of a child in a special education program, or the initial provision of special education services for a child without the prior written consent of the child’s parent. A district may not override the written refusal of a parent to consent to an initial evaluation or reevaluation.

(3) A parent, after consulting with health care, education, or other professional providers, may agree or disagree to provide the parent’s child with sympathomimetic medications unless medical, dental, mental and other health services are necessary, in the professional's judgment, that the risk to the minor's life or health is of such a nature that treatment should be given without delay and the requirement of consent would result in delay or denial of treatment.

(4) Parties are encouraged to resolve disputes over the identification, evaluation, educational placement, manifestation determination, interim alternative educational placement, or the



provision of a free appropriate public education to a child with a disability through conciliation, mediation, facilitated team meetings, or other alternative process. All dispute resolution options are voluntary on the part of the parent and must not be used to deny or delay the right to a due process hearing. All dispute resolution processes are provided at no cost to the parent.

(5) Conciliation Conference: a parent has the opportunity to meet with appropriate district staff in at least one conciliation conference if the parent objects to any proposal of which the parent receives prior written notice. Rochester STEM Academy holds a conciliation conference within ten calendar days from the date the district receives a parent’s objection to a proposal or refusal in the prior written notice. All discussions held during a conciliation conference are confidential and are not admissible in a due process hearing. Within five school days after the final conciliation conference, the district must prepare and provide to the parent a conciliation conference memorandum that describes the district’s final proposed offer of service. This memorandum is admissible in evidence in any subsequent proceeding.

(6) In addition to offering at least one conciliation conference, Rochester STEM Academy informs parents of other dispute resolution processes, including at least medication and facilitated team meetings. The fact that an alternative dispute resolution process was used is admissible in evidence at any subsequent proceeding. State-provided mediators and team meeting facilitators shall not be subpoenaed to testify at a due process hearing or civil action under special education law nor are any records of mediators or state-provided team meeting facilitators accessible to the parties.

(7) Descriptions of the mediation process, facilitated team meetings, state complaint, and impartial due process hearings may be found in Rochester STEM Academy’s Procedural Safeguard Notice, attached as Appendix D and D.1.

Rochester STEM Academy’s plan for receiving special education referrals.

Upon receiving a referral from parents, physicians, private and public programs, and health and human services agencies, the core special education team will meet to plan how a pre-referred student shall be evaluated. All referrals from any source will result in a special education team meeting. Evaluation of any pre-referred student requires classroom observation.

Rochester STEM academy follows the identification, evaluation and placement procedures outlined in the TSES and the Part B Notice of Procedural Safeguards, attached as Appendix E.

Rochester STEM Academy

What are your legal rights to an evaluation?

As a parent, guardian or advocate, you have a legal right to request that your school district evaluate your student for special education. Federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act as amended in 2004 (IDEA), gives you that legal right. School districts must “identify, locate, and evaluate every child who may have a disability requiring special education services.” This is called “Child Find.” When there is suspicion that a child has a disability, parents and educators have a responsibility and a right to request a full, individual, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary evaluation.

Parents may request an evaluation in writing, directed to the Special Education teacher or the Principal. Parents should retain copies of all



correspondence related to their student and follow up with the school on the status of the request.

Parents may be asked to sign the appropriate Referral for Evaluation district form before considering an evaluation. The date of the parents’ signature on the Referral form is the date used to establish the evaluation timeframe.

Here is a sample letter requesting an evaluation:

Date:

Dear Bryan Rossi,

My student _____________________________ is having a difficult time learning with (area of concern). I am requesting that my child be evaluated for special education services. ________________________(student name) will be completed and a meeting date will be set within the timeline as required by federal law. My signature on this letter gives my consent for my child’s evaluation to begin. I look forward to hearing from you. I am available by phone at this number_____________________.

Sincerely,

Parent signature____________________________



What is Response to Intervention (RTI) and how is it used in determining whether a child has a specific learning disability?

Response to Intervention, often called RTI, is a general education pre-referral process to help children who are having difficulty learning and achieving at grade level. RTI is designed to give these students additional academic support before the school district determines if they should be referred. Rochester STEM Academy has a Student Study Team, which discusses these issues.

Do all school districts have the same policies for implementing RTI and conducting special education evaluations?

Each school district in Minnesota has its own procedure and most require a pre-referral process. Rochester STEM Academy supports the use of RTI for students suspected of having any disability. A referral to the Child Find Team will be made to discuss potential interventions that will be implemented prior to initiation of a special education referral.

Is there a limit on how long a child might receive interventions under an RTI process?

There are no specific timelines regarding how long students should receive these interventions. The first tier interventions may be used with the entire class (universal interventions), while more intensive



intervention are targeted toward students struggling to learn. The number of weeks to complete the interventions may vary widely.

Is there a right to an evaluation if the child is receiving RTI interventions?

Yes, Regardless of where the student is in an RTI process, the IDEA regulations give parents the right to request an evaluation for special education services at any time. The law also says that information from an RTI process must be collected before the end of the timeframe set in place by the date of the parent’s consent for a special education evaluation.

Is there a time frame for completion of the evaluation?

Minnesota has established a timeframe of 30 school days to complete the evaluation. The timeframe begins from the time the school district receives the parents’ written request for the evaluation.

Following the evaluation, the parent receives an Evaluation Report which includes a summary of the assessment results, documentation of whether the pupil meets a particular category of disability, the student’s present levels of performance and educational needs that derive from the disability, and whether accommodations or modifications and special education and related services are needed.



If your student meets a particular category of disability and is eligible for special education and related services, you will be invited to participate in a meeting with other key staff members to develop an Individual Education Program (IEP) plan for your student.

PARENTAL CONSENT

Definition of ConsentConsent means that you have been fully informed of all information relevant to the activity for which your consent is sought, in your native language, or through another mode of communication. 34 C.F.R. § 300.9(a). In order to consent you must understand and agree in writing to the carrying out of the activity


http://www.education.state.mn.us/

http://www.pacer.org/

http://www.mndlc.org/

http://www.macmh.org/


for which your consent is sought. This written consent must list any records that will be released and to whom. 34 C.F.R. § 300.9(b).

Revocation of ConsentConsent is voluntary and may be revoked in writing at any time. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.9(c)(1) and 300.300(b)(4). However, revocation of consent is not retroactive; meaning revocation of consent does not negate an action that has occurred after the consent was given and before the consent was revoked. 34 C.F.R. § 300.9(c)(2).

When the District Must Obtain Your Consent

A. Initial EvaluationThe district must obtain your written and informed consent before conducting its initial evaluation of your child. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(a)(1)(i) and Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 5(a). You or a district can initiate a request for an initial evaluation. 34 C.F.R. § 300.301(b). If you do not respond to a request for consent or if you refuse to provide consent for an initial evaluation, the district cannot override your refusal to provide consent. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(a)(3)(i) and Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 5(a). An initial evaluation shall be conducted within 30 school days from the date the district receives your permission to conduct the evaluation, unless a conciliation conference or hearing is requested. Minn. R. 3525.2550, Subp. 2.

A district will not be found in violation of meeting its child find obligation or its obligations to conduct evaluations and reevaluations if you refuse to consent to or fail to respond to a request for consent for an initial evaluation. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(a)(3)(ii).

If you consent to an initial evaluation, this consent cannot be construed as being consent for the initial provision of special education and related services. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(a)(1)(ii).

B. Initial Placement and Provision of Special Education Services and Related ServicesThe district must obtain your written consent before proceeding with the initial placement of your child in a special education program and the initial provision of special education services and related services to your child determined to be a child with a disability. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 3a(1) and 5(a); 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(b)(1).

If you do not respond to a request for consent, or if you refuse to consent to the initial provision of special education and related services to your child, the district may not override your written refusal. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 5(a).

If you refuse to provide consent for the initial provision of special education and related services, or you fail to respond to a request to provide consent for the initial provision of special education and related services, the district will not be considered in violation for failure to provide your child with special education and related services for which the district requested consent. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(b)(4)(i).

C. ReevaluationsYour consent is required before a district conducts a reevaluation of your child. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(c). If you refuse consent to a reevaluation, the district may not override your written refusal. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(c)(1)(ii) and Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 5(a). A reevaluation shall be conducted within 30 school days from the date the district receives your permission to conduct the evaluation or within 30



days from the expiration of the 14 calendar day time period during which you can object to the district’s proposed action. Minn. R. 3525.2550, Subp. 2.

D. Transition ServicesYour consent is required before personally identifiable information is released to officials of participating agencies providing or paying for transition services. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.622(a)(2) and 300.321(b)(3).

When Your Consent is Not RequiredExcept for an initial evaluation and the initial placement and provision of special education and related services, if you do not notify the district of your objection within 14 days of when the district sends the notice of the district’s proposal to you, the district’s proposal goes into effect even without your consent. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 3a(1).

Additionally, your consent is not required for a district to review existing data in your child’s educational file as part of an evaluation or a reevaluation. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(d)(1)(i).

Your consent is also not required for the district to administer a test or other evaluation that is given to all children, unless consent is required from parents of all children. 34 C.F.R. § 300.300(d)(1)(ii).

Parent's Right to Object and Right to a Conciliation ConferenceYou have a right to object to any action the district proposes within 14 calendar days of when the district sends you the prior written notice of their proposal. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 3a(1). If you object to the district’s proposal, you have the right to request a conciliation conference, mediation, facilitated IEP team meeting or a due process hearing. 34 C.F.R. § 300.507; Minn. Stat. §§ 125A.091, Subd. 3a(2) and Subd.14. Within ten calendar days from the date the district receives notice of your objection to its proposal or refusal in the district’s prior written notice, the district will ask you to attend a conciliation conference. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 7.

Except as provided under Minnesota Statutes, section 125A.091, all discussions held during a conciliation conference are confidential and are not admissible in a due process hearing. Within five days after the final conciliation conference, the district must prepare and provide to you a conciliation conference memorandum that describes the district’s final proposed offer of service. This memorandum is admissible evidence in any subsequent proceeding. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 7.

You and the district may also agree to use mediation or a facilitated individualized education program (IEP) team meeting to resolve your disagreement. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 8. You or the district can also request a due process hearing (see section about Impartial Due Process Hearings later in this document).The district must continue to provide an appropriate education to your child during the proceedings of a due process hearing. 34 C.F.R. § 300.518.

Confidentiality and Personally Identifiable InformationPersonally identifiable information is information that includes, but is not limited to, a student's name, the name of the student's parent or other family members, the address of the student or student's family, a personal identifier, such as the student's Social Security number, student number, or biometric record, another indirect identifier, such as the student's date of birth, place of birth, a mother's maiden name, other information that, alone or in combination, is linked to or linkable to a specific student that would allow a reasonable person in the school community, who does not have personal knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to identify the student with reasonable certainty, or information requested by a



person who the educational agency or institution reasonably believes knows the identity of the student to whom the education record relates. 34 C.F.R. § 99.3.

Districts and MDE must protect the confidentiality of any personally identifiable data, information, and records they collect, maintain, disclose and destroy. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.610 and 300.623.

Generally, your written consent is required before a district may disclose personally identifiable information from your child's educational record with anyone other than officials of participating agencies collecting or using the information under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or for any purpose other than meeting a requirement of that law. 34 C.F.R §§ 99.3 and 99.31.

When your consent is not required to share personally identifiable information. Your consent, or the consent of an eligible student (age 18 or older), is not required before personally identifiable information contained in education records is released to officials of a school district or the state department of education for meeting IDEA requirements. 34 C.F.R. § 300.622(a).

Your child’s educational records, including disciplinary records, can be transferred without your consent to officials of another school, district, or postsecondary institution if your child seeks to enroll in or attend the school or institution or a school in that district. 34 C.F.R. § 99.31(a)(2).

Disclosures made without your consent must be authorized under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Please refer to 34 C.F.R. Part 99 for additional information on consent requirements concerning data privacy under federal law.

Directory Information Directory information can be shared without your consent. This type of information is data contained in an education record of your child that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. 34 C.F.R. § 99.3.

Directory information includes, but is not limited to, a student's address, telephone number, email address, date and place of birth, major field of study, grade level, enrollment status, dates of attendance, participation in official activities and sports, weight and height of athletic team members, degrees, honors, and awards received, the most recent educational agency or institution attended, and a student ID number, user ID, or other unique personal identifier used for accessing or communicating electronically if certain criteria are met. Directory information does not include a student's Social Security number or a student ID number not used in connection with accessing or communicating electronically as provided under federal law. 34 C.F.R. § 99.3.

Districts must give you the option to refuse to let the district designate any or all data about your child as directory information. This notice can be given to you by any means reasonably likely to inform you or an eligible student of this right. Minn. Stat. § 13.32, Subd. 5. If you do not refuse to release the above information as directory information, that information is considered public data and can be shared without your consent.

Data about you (meaning parents) is private data but can be treated as directory information if the same procedures that are used by a district to designate student data as directory information are followed. Minn. Stat. § 13.32, Subd. 2(c).



WRITTEN ANNUAL NOTICE RELATING TO THIRD PARTY BILLING FOR IEP HEALTH-RELATED SERVICES Before billing Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare for health-related services the first time, and each year, the district must inform you in writing that:

1. The district will share data related to your child and health-related services on your child’s IEP with the Minnesota Department of Human Services to determine if your child is covered by Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare and whether those services may be billed to Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare.

2. Before billing Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare for health-related services the first time, the district must obtain your consent, including specifying the personally identifiable information that may be disclosed (e.g., records or information about the services that may be provided), the purpose of the disclosure, the agency to which the disclosure may be made (i.e. the Department of Human Services) and which specifies that you understand and agree that the school district may access your (or your child’s) public benefits or insurance to pay for health-related services.

3. The district will bill Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare for the health-related services on your child’s IEP. Minn. Stat. § 125A.21, Subd. 2(c)(1).

4. The district may not require you to sign up for or enroll in Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare or other insurance programs in order for your child to receive special education services.

5. The district may not require you to incur an out-of-pocket expense such as the payment of a deductible or co-pay amount incurred in filing a claim for health services provided, but may pay the cost that you otherwise would be required to pay.

6. The district may not use your child's benefits under Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare if that use would: decrease available lifetime coverage or any other insured benefit; result in your family paying for services that would otherwise be covered by the public benefits or insurance program and that are required for the child outside of the time your child is in school; increase your premiums or lead to the discontinuation of benefits or insurance; or risk your loss of eligibility for home and community-based waivers, based on aggregate health-related expenditures.

7. You have the right to receive a copy of education records the district shares with any third party when seeking reimbursement for IEP health-related services. Minn. Stat. § 125A.21, Subd. 2(c)(2).

You have the right to stop your consent for disclosure of your child’s education records to a third party, including the Department of Human Services, at any time. If you stop consent, the district may no longer share your child’s education records to bill a third party for IEP health-related services. You can withdraw your consent at any time, and your child’s IEP services will not change or stop. Minn. Stat. § 125A.21, Subd. 2(c)(3).

INDEPENDENT EDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONSAn independent educational evaluation (IEE) is an evaluation by a qualified person(s) who is not an employee of your district. 34 C.F.R. § 300.502(a)(3)(i). You may ask for an IEE at school district expense if you disagree with the district’s evaluation. 34 C.F.R. § 300.502(b)(1). A hearing officer may also order an independent educational evaluation of your child at school district expense during a due process hearing. 34 C.F.R. § 300.502(d).



Upon request for an IEE, the district must give you information regarding its criteria for selection of an independent examiner and information about where an independent education evaluation may be obtained. 34 C.F.R. § 300.502(a)(2).

If you request an IEE, the district must, without delay, ensure that it is provided at public expense or request a hearing to determine the appropriateness of its evaluation. 34 C.F.R. § 300.502(b)(2). If the district goes to hearing and the hearing officer determines the district’s evaluation is appropriate, you still have the right to an independent evaluation, but not at public expense. 34 C.F.R. § 300.502(b)(3).

If you obtain an IEE, the results of the evaluation must be considered by the IEP/IIIP (Individual Interagency Intervention Plan) Team and may be presented as evidence at a due process hearing regarding your child. 34 C.F.R. § 300.502(c).

EDUCATION RECORDS

Definition of an Education RecordUnder federal law an education record means those records that are directly related to a student and that are maintained by the department or the district.

Your Access to RecordsIf you want to look at your child’s education records, the district must give you access to those records for your review. Education records include most of the information about your child that is held by the school. 34 C.F.R. § 300.613(a). However, information held solely by your child’s teacher for his or her own instructional use may not be included in the education records. Minn. Stat. § 13.32, Subd. 1(a).

The district must allow you to review the records without unnecessary delay, and before any meeting regarding an IEP, or any hearing or resolution session about your child. 34 C.F.R. § 300.613(a). In addition, the district must comply with your request to review your child’s education records immediately, if possible, or within 10 days of the date of the request (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays), if immediate compliance is not possible. Minn. Stat. § 13.04, Subd. 3.

Your right to inspect and review records includes the right to:

1. An explanation or interpretation from the district of your child’s records upon request, 34 C.F.R. § 300.613(b)(1); Minn. Stat. § 13.04, Subd. 3;

2. Have your representative inspect and review the records on your behalf, 34 C.F.R. § 300.613(b)(3);

3. Request that the district provide copies of your child’s educational records to you, 34 C.F.R. § 300.613(b)(2); Minn. Stat. § 13.04, Subd. 3; and

4. Review your child’s records as often as you wish in accordance with state law, 34 C.F.R. § 300.613(c). State law provides that if you have been shown private data and have been informed of its meaning, that data does not need to be disclosed to you for a period of 6 months unless a dispute or action is pending or new information is created or collected. Minn. Stat. § 13.04, Subd. 3.



Transfer of RightsYour rights regarding accessing your child’s education records generally transfer to your child at age 18. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.625 and 99.5(a). Notice must be provided to you and your child regarding this transfer of rights. 34 C.F.R. § 300.520(a)(3).

Records on More Than One ChildIf any education record includes information on more than one child, you have the right to inspect and review only information relating to your child. 34 C.F.R. § 300.615. You can seek consent to review and inspect education records that include information about children in addition to your own, but those parents of those children have a right to refuse your request for consent.

List of Types and Locations of InformationUpon your request, the district and the department must provide you with a list of the types and locations of education records they collect, maintain or use. 34 C.F.R. § 300.616.

Record of Access by OthersThe district must keep a record of each request for access to, and each disclosure of, personally identifiable information in your child’s education records. This record of access must include the name of the individual who made the request or received personally identifiable information from your child’s education records, the date access was given and the purpose of the disclosure or the individual’s legitimate interest in the information. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.614 and 99.32.

Consent to Release RecordsGenerally, your consent is required before personally identifiable information is released to unauthorized individuals or agencies. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.622(a) and 99.30(a); Minn. Stat. § 13.05, Subd. 4(d). The consent must be in writing and must specify the individuals or agencies authorized to receive the information: the nature of the information to be disclosed; the purpose for which the information may be used; and a reasonable expiration date for the authorization to release information. 34 C.F.R. § 99.30(b); Minn. Stat. § 13.05, Subd. 4(d). Upon request, the district must provide you with a copy of records it discloses after you have given this consent. 34 C.F.R. § 99.30(c).

The district may not disclose information contained in your child’s IEP/IIIP, including diagnosis and treatment information, to a health plan company without your signed and dated consent. Minn. Stat. § 125A.21, Subd. 7.

Fees for Searching, Retrieving and Copying RecordsThe district may not charge a fee to search or retrieve records. However, if you request copies, the district may charge a reasonable fee for the copies, unless charging that fee would prevent you from exercising your right to inspect and review the education records because you cannot afford to pay it. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.617 and 99.11; Minn. Stat. §13.04, Subd. 3.

Amendment of Records at Parent’s RequestIf you believe that information in your child’s records is inaccurate, misleading, incomplete or in violation of your child’s privacy or other rights, you may request in writing that the district amend or remove the information. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.618(a) and 99.20(a); Minn. Stat. § 13.04, Subd. 4.



The district must decide within a reasonable time whether it will amend the records. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.618(b) and 99.20(b). If the district decides not to amend the records, it must inform you that you have the right to a hearing to challenge the district’s decision. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.618(c), 300.619 and 99.20(c). If, as a result of that hearing, the district decides that the information is not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your child’s privacy right, it must inform you that you have the right to include a statement of your comments and disagreements alongside the challenged information in your child’s education records. 34 C.F.R. § 300.620(b). A hearing to challenge information in education records must be conducted according to the procedures for such hearings under FERPA. 34 C.F.R. § 300.621.

Transfer of RecordsMinnesota Statutes require that a district, a charter school, or a nonpublic school transfer a student’s educational records, including disciplinary records, from a school a student is transferring from to a school in which a student is enrolling within 10 business days of a request. Minn. Stat. § 120A.22, Subd. 7.

Destruction of RecordsThe district must inform you when personally identifiable information is no longer needed in order to provide education services to your child. 34 C.F.R. § 300.624(a). That information must be destroyed at your request. However, the school may retain a permanent record of your child’s name, address, phone number, grades, attendance records, classes attended, grade level completed and year completed. 34 C.F.R. § 300.624(b).

Under federal law, destruction means the physical removal of personal identifiers from information so that the information is no longer personally identifiable. Thus, the student’s record does not need to be physically destroyed to comply with your request to destroy special education related records. Districts can appropriately comply with this requirement by removing personally identifiable information from the student’s records. The choice of destruction method generally lies with the school district. 34 C.F.R. § 300.611; Letter to Purcell, 211 IDELR 462 (OSEP, 1987); and Klein Indep. Sch. Dist., 17 IDELR 359 ( SEA TC, 1990).

The district shall not destroy any education records if there is an outstanding request to inspect or review the records. 34 C.F.R. § 99.10(e).

Despite your request to destroy records a district can keep certain records necessary to comply with the General Education Provision Act (GEPA), which requires that recipients of federal funds keep records related to the use of those funds. Letter to New, 211 IDELR 473 (OSEP, 1987); 34 C.F.R. §300.611(a); and 20 U.S.C. Ch. 31, sec. 1232(f)(a). You may want to maintain certain special education records about your child for documentation purposes in the future, such as for applying for SSI benefits.

MEDIATIONMediation is a free, voluntary process to help resolve disputes. You or your district may request free mediation from the Minnesota Department of Education’s Special Education Alternative Dispute Resolution program at 651-582-8222 or 1-866-466-7367. Mediation uses a neutral third party trained in dispute resolution techniques. Mediation may not be used to deny or delay your right to a due process hearing. Both you and district staff must agree to try mediation before a mediator can be assigned. At



any time during the mediation, you or the district may end the mediation. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.506 and 300.152(a)(3)(ii).

If you and the district resolve all or a portion of the dispute or agree to use another procedure to resolve the dispute, the mediator shall ensure that the resolution or agreement is in writing and signed by both you and the district and that both parties receive a copy of the document. The written resolution or agreement shall state that all discussions that occurred during mediation are confidential and may not be used as evidence in any hearing or civil proceeding. The resolution or agreement is legally binding on both you and the district and is enforceable in state or federal district court. You or the district can request another mediation to resolve a dispute over implementing the mediation agreement. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 10.

FILING A WRITTEN COMPLAINTAny organization or individual may file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). 34 C.F.R. § 300.153(a). Complaints sent to MDE must:

1. Be in writing and be signed by the individual or organization filing the complaint, 34 C.F.R. § 300.153(a);

2. Allege violations of state or federal special education law or rule, 34 C.F.R. § 300.153(b)(1);

The complaint must be received by MDE no later than one year after the alleged violation occurred. 34 C.F.R. § 300.153(c). MDE will issue a written decision within 60 days, unless exceptional circumstances



require a longer time or you or the district agree to extend the time to participate in mediation. 34 C.F.R. § 300.152(a) and (b). The final complaint decision may be appealed to the Minnesota Court of Appeals by you (the parent) or the school district injured-in-fact by the decision within 60 days of receiving notice of the final decision.

MODEL FORMSMDE has developed model forms that can be used to file special education or due process complaints. These forms are not required, but are available as a resource to use when filing a complaint. 34 C.F.R. § 300.509. These model forms are available MDE’s website: MDE > School Support > Compliance and Assistance > Due Process Forms.

IMPARTIAL DUE PROCESS HEARINGBoth you and the district have a right to request an impartial due process hearing in writing within two years of the date you or the agency knew or should have known about the alleged action that forms the basis of the due process complaint. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(a) and 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.507 and 300.511(e).

A due process hearing can be requested regarding a proposal or refusal to initiate or change a child’s evaluation, IEP, educational placement, or to provide FAPE. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(a).

A due process hearing may address any matter related to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, manifestation determination or provision of a free and appropriate public education of your child. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 12. Within 15 days of receiving notice of your due process complaint, and prior to the due process hearing, the school district must arrange for a resolution meeting with you and the relevant members of the IEP Team who have knowledge of the facts alleged in the due process complaint. 34 C.F.R. § 300.510(a).

The purpose of this meeting is for you to discuss the due process complaint, and the facts that form the basis of the due process complaint, so that the school district has the opportunity to resolve the dispute that is the basis for the due process complaint. 34 C.F.R. § 300.510(a)(2).

The resolution meeting need not be held if you and the school district agree in writing to waive the meeting or agree to mediation. 34 C.F.R. § 300.510(a)(3). A resolution meeting is also not required to be held when the district is the party who requests a due process hearing. 34 C.F.R. 300.510(a) cmts. at 71 F.R. 46700 (2006).

If the matter is not resolved within 30 days of receipt of the due process complaint, the hearing timelines begin. 34 C.F.R. § 300.510(b)(1).

If the school district is unable to obtain your participation in the resolution meeting or mediation after reasonable efforts have been made and the school district does not agree to waive the meeting in writing, the school district may, at the conclusion of the 30-day period, request that a hearing officer dismiss your due process complaint. 34 C.F.R. § 300.510(b)(4).

Loss of Right to a Due Process HearingNOTE: Due to an interpretation of state law by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, if your child changes school districts and you do not request a due process hearing before your child enrolls in a new district, you may lose the right to have a due process hearing about any special education issues that arose in



the previous district. See Thompson v. Bd. of the Special Sch. Dist. No. 1, 144 F.3d.574 (8th Cir. 1998). You do still have a right to request a due process hearing about special educational issues that may arise in the new district where your child is attending.

Procedures for Initiation of a Due Process HearingUpon a written request for a hearing, the district must give you a copy of this procedural safeguard notice and a copy of your rights at hearing. 34 C.F.R. § 300.504(a)(2). If you or the district request a hearing, the other party must be provided with a copy of the request and submit the request to the department. Once it receives the request, the department must give a copy of the procedural safeguards notice to you. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(d). All written requests must include:

1. The name of your child, 34 C.F.R. § 300.508(b)(1); Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(b);

2. The address of your child, 34 C.F.R. § 300.508(b)(2); Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(b);

3. The name of the school your child is attending, 34 C.F.R. § 300.508(b)(3); Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(b);

4. A description of the problem(s), including your view of the facts, 34 C.F.R. § 300.508(b)(5); Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(b); and

5. A proposed resolution of the problem to the extent known and available to you at the time, 34 C.F.R. § 300.508(b)(6); Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(b).

MDE maintains a list of qualified hearing officers. Upon receipt of a written request for a hearing, MDE will appoint a hearing officer from that list to conduct the hearing. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 13. Below are a few of your rights at hearing. This is not a complete list of rights.

Both you and the district have the right to:

1. Be accompanied and advised by counsel and by individuals with special knowledge or training with respect to the problems of children with disabilities, 34 C.F.R. § 300.512(a)(1);

2. Present evidence and confront, cross-examine and compel the attendance of witnesses, 34 C.F.R. § 300.512(a)(2);

3. Prohibit the introduction of any evidence at the hearing that has not been disclosed at least five business days before the hearing, including evaluation data and recommendations based on that data, 34 C.F.R. § 300.512(a)(3); and

4. Receive a free copy of the hearing transcript or electronic recording of findings of fact and decisions, 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.512(a)(4)-(a)(5) and (c)(3).

As a parent, you, specifically, have the right to:

1. Have your child, who is the subject of the hearing, present, 34 C.F.R. § 300.512(c)(1);

2. Open the hearing to the public, 34 C.F.R. § 300.512(c)(2); and



3. Have the record or transcript of the hearing and the hearing officer’s findings of fact, conclusions of law and decisions made provided to you at no cost. 34 C.F.R. § 300.512(c)(3); Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 12.

Responding to the Hearing RequestIf you file a hearing request and you did not previously receive a prior written notice from the district about the subject matter of the hearing request, the district must send you a written explanation of why the district refused to take the action raised in the hearing request within 10 days of receiving the hearing request. This explanation must include a description of other options considered by the IEP team, why those options were rejected, a description of each evaluation procedure, assessment, record, or report that the district used as the basis for the proposed or refused action, and a description of the factors relevant to the district’s proposal or refusal decision. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(e)(1).

The district can assert that the hearing request does not meet the requirements under state law. A hearing request is considered sufficient unless the party who received the request notifies the hearing officer in writing within 15 days of receiving the request that they believe the request does not meet statutory requirements. The hearing officer must determine whether the hearing request meets statutory requirements within 5 days of receiving the request and notify the parties. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(e) (1) and (2).

Upon receiving your hearing request, the district must also send you a written response that addresses the issues you raised in the hearing request within 10 days of receiving the request. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(f).

Disclosure of Additional Evidence Before a HearingA prehearing conference must be held within 5 business days of the date the commissioner appoints a hearing officer. This conference can be held in person, at a location within the district, or by telephone. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 15. At least 5 business days before a hearing, you and the district must disclose to each other all evaluations of your child completed by that date and recommendations based on those evaluations that are intended to be used at the hearing. 34 C.F.R. § 300.512(b)(1). A hearing officer may refuse to allow you to introduce any undisclosed evaluations or recommendations at the hearing without consent of the other party. 34 C.F.R. § 300.512(b)(2).

The Hearing DecisionA hearing decision must be issued and provided to each party within 45 calendar days, or within an appropriately extended time period, upon the expiration of the 30-day resolution period after the due process complaint was received by the state agency. 34 C.F.R. § 300.515; Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 20(a). A hearing officer may extend the time beyond the 45-day period if requested by either party for good cause shown on the record. 34 C.F.R. § 300.515(c); Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 18, 20(a). A hearing officer must conduct oral arguments in a hearing at a time and place that is reasonably convenient to you and your child. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 20(a). A hearing officer’s decision on whether your child received FAPE must be based on evidence and arguments that directly relate to FAPE. 34 C.F.R. § 300.513. The hearing decision is final unless you or the district files a civil action. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.514(a)-(b) and 300.516(a). A hearing officer lacks the authority to amend a decision except for clerical and mathematical errors. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 20(b).



Separate Request for Due Process HearingYou have the right to file a separate due process complaint on an issue separate from a due process complaint already filed. 34 C.F.R. § 300.513(c).

Free or Low-Cost Legal Resources

The district must inform you of any free or low-cost legal and other relevant services available in the area if you request the information or if you or the school district file a due process complaint. 34 C.F.R. § 300.507(2)(b). A list of free or low-cost legal resources is also available on MDE’s Special Education Hearings web page (MDE> Select School Support > Compliance and Assistance > Special Education Hearings).

COMPLAINT AND HEARINGS DATABASEFinal decisions on special education complaints and due process hearings are available to the public on the MDE website. 34 C.F.R. § 300.513(d). MDE maintains a public database called the Complaints, Hearings and Letters Search Engine. Decisions available in the database are redacted and all personally identifiable information is removed. This database is available on the Compliance and Assistance webpage on the MDE website at: http://w20.education.state.mn.us/WebsiteContent/ComplianceSearch.jsp.

CIVIL ACTIONWhen you or the district disagrees with the findings or decisions made by a hearing officer, either party may file a court action. The action may be brought in federal district court or the state court of appeals. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.514(b) and 300.516(a). Different standards of review apply in each court. An appeal to the state court of appeals must be made within 60 calendar days of your receipt of the decision. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 24. An appeal to federal district court must be made within 90 days of the date of the decision. 34 C.F.R. § 300.516(b); Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 24.

PLACEMENT DURING A HEARING OR CIVIL ACTIONDuring a hearing or court action, unless you and the district agree otherwise, your child will remain in the educational placement where he/she is currently placed and must not be denied initial admission to school. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.518(a) and (b) and 300.533. This is commonly referred to as the “stay-put” rule.

Two exceptions to the “stay-put” rule exist:

1. Students may be removed from their educational setting for not more than 45 school days to an interim alternative educational placement for certain weapon, drug or serious bodily injury violations, 34 C.F.R. § 300.530(g)(1)-(3); and

2. A hearing officer’s decision agreeing with you that a change in placement is appropriate as the “stay-put” placement during subsequent appeals, 34 C.F.R. § 300.518(d).

EXPEDITED HEARINGSYou (the parent) or the district can request an expedited hearing in the following situations:

1. Whenever you dispute the district’s proposal to initiate or change the identification, evaluation or educational placement of your child or the district’s provision of FAPE to your child, Minn. Stat. §


http://education.state.mn.us/MDE/SchSup/ComplAssist/Hearing/index.html

http://education.state.mn.us/MDE/SchSup/ComplAssist/Hearing/index.html


125A.091, Subd. 14(a); 34 C.F.R. § 300.532(a) and (c)(1); 34 C.F.R. 300.507(a) and 34 C.F.R. § 300.503(a)(1);

2. Whenever you dispute the district’s refusal to initiate or change the identification, evaluation or educational placement of your child or the district’s provision of FAPE to your child, Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 14(a); 34 C.F.R. § 300.532(a) and (c)(1); 34 C.F.R. § 300.507(a); 34 C.F.R. § 300.503(a)(2);

3. Whenever you dispute the manifestation determination, 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.530 and 300.532(a); and

4. Whenever the district believes that maintaining the current placement of your child is substantially likely to result in injury to the child or to others, 34 C.F.R. § 300.532(b)(2)(ii).

You or a school district may file a written request for an expedited due process hearing as described above. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 19; 34 C.F.R. § 300.532(c)(1).

Timelines for Expedited HearingsExpedited hearings must be held within 20 school days of the date the hearing request is filed. The hearing officer must issue a decision within 10 school days after the hearing. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 19; 34 C.F.R. § 300.532(c)(2). A resolution meeting must occur within 7 days of receiving the hearing request, unless you and the school district agree in writing to either waive the resolution meeting or use the mediation process. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 19; 34 C.F.R. § 300.532(c)(3) and (3)(i). The expedited due process hearing may proceed unless the matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties within 15 days of receiving the request. Minn. Stat. § 125A.091, Subd. 19; 34 C.F.R. § 300.532(c)(3)(ii).

Dismissal of ComplaintIf the school district is unable to obtain your participation in the resolution meeting or mediation after reasonable efforts have been made and the school district does not agree to waive the meeting in writing, the school district may, at the conclusion of the 30-day period, request that a hearing officer dismiss your due process complaint. 34 C.F.R. § 300.510(b)(4).

Placement by a Hearing OfficerA hearing officer may decide to move your child to an interim alternative educational setting for up to 45 school days if the hearing officer determines your child is substantially likely to injure himself or herself or others if he/she remains in the current placement. 34 C.F.R. § 300.532(b)(2)(ii).

Right to Appeal DecisionYou or the district can appeal the decision of a hearing officer in an expedited due process hearing. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.532(c)(5) and 300.514.

INTERIM ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL PLACEMENTThe district may change your child’s educational placement for up to 45 school days, if your child:

1. Carries a dangerous weapon to or possesses a dangerous weapon at school, on school premises, or at a school function under the jurisdiction of the school district or MDE as defined in federal law, 34 C.F.R. § 300.530(g)(1);



2. Knowingly possesses or uses illegal drugs, or sells or solicits the sale of a controlled substance while at school, on school premises, or at a school function under the jurisdiction of the school district or MDE. This does not include alcohol or tobacco, 34 C.F.R. § 300.530(g)(2); or

3. Inflicts serious bodily injury upon another person while at school, on school premises, or at a school function under the jurisdiction of the school district or MDE as defined in federal law, 34 C.F.R. § 300.530(g)(3).

On the date the district decides to remove your child and the removal is a change of placement of a child with a disability because of a violation of a code of student conduct, the school district must notify you of that decision, and provide you with the procedural safeguards notice. 34 C.F.R. § 300.530(h).

The IEP/IIIP team determines the interim alternative educational setting and appropriate special education services. 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.530(d)(5) and 300.531. Even though this is a temporary change, it must allow your child:

1. To continue to participate in the general education curriculum and progress towards meeting goals set out in your child's IEP, although in a different setting, 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.530(d)(1)(i) and (d)(4); and

2. Include services and modifications designed to prevent the behavior from recurring, 34 C.F.R. § 300.530(d)(1)(ii).

If your child is placed in an interim alternative educational setting, an IEP/IIIP meeting must be convened within 10 school days of the decision. 34 C.F.R. § 300.530(e)(1). At this meeting, the team must discuss behavior and its relationship to your child’s disability. The team must review evaluation information regarding your child’s behavior, and determine the appropriateness of your child’s IEP/IIIP and behavior plan. The team will then determine if your child’s conduct was caused by, or had a direct relationship to his or her disability, or if your child’s conduct was the direct result of the school district’s failure to implement the IEP. 34 C.F.R. § 300.530(e)(1).

ATTORNEY’S FEES FOR HEARINGSYou may be able to recover attorney fees if you prevail in a due process hearing. 34 C.F.R. § 300.517(a)(1)(i). A judge may make an award of attorney’s fees based on prevailing rates in your community. 34 C.F.R. § 300.517(c)(1). The court may reduce an award of attorney’s fees if it finds that you unreasonably delayed the settlement or decision in the case. 34 C.F.R. § 300.517(c)(4)(i). If the district prevails and a court agrees that your request for a hearing was for any improper purpose, you may be required to pay the district’s attorney’s fees. 34 C.F.R. § 300.517(a)(iii).

EXCLUSIONS AND EXPULSION OF PUPILS WITH A DISABILITYBefore your child with a disability can be expelled or excluded from school, a manifestation determination must be held. Minn. Stat. § 121A.43(d). If your child’s misbehavior is related to his or her disability, your child cannot be expelled.

When a child with a disability is excluded or expelled under the Pupil Fair Dismissal Act, Minnesota Statutes Sections 121A.41-56, for misbehavior that is not a manifestation of the child’s disability, the district shall continue to provide special education and related services after the period a period of suspension, if imposed. Minn. Stat. § 121A.43(d).



DISCIPLINARY REMOVALSIf a child with a disability is removed from his or her current educational placement, this is considered a change of placement if:

1. The removal is for more than 10 school days in a row, 34 C.F.R. § 300.536(a)(1); or

2. Your child has been subjected to a series of removals that constitute a pattern because:

a. The series of removals total more than 10 school days in a year, 34 C.F.R. § 300.536(a)(2)(i);

b. Your child’s behavior is substantially similar to your child’s behavior in previous incidents that resulted in a series of removals, 34 C.F.R. § 300.536(a)(2)(ii); and

c. Of additional factors such as the length of each removals, the total amount of time your child has been removed, and the proximity of the removals to one another, 34 C.F.R. § 300.536(a)(2)(iii).

The determination of whether a pattern of removals constitutes a change of placement is made by the district. 34 C.F.R. § 300.536(b)(1). If this determination is challenged it is subject to review through due process and judicial proceedings. 34 C.F.R. § 300.536(b)(2).

CHILDREN NOT DETERMINED ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND RELATED SERVICESIf your child has not been determined eligible for special education and related services and violates a code of student conduct, and the school district knew before the discipline violation that your child was a child with a disability then your child can utilize the protections described in this notice. 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(a).

A district is deemed to have knowledge that your child is a child with a disability if, before the behavior that brought about the disciplinary action occurred:

1. You expressed concern in writing to supervisory or administrative personnel at the district or to your child’s teacher that your child is in need of special education and related services, 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(b)(1);

2. You requested an evaluation related to eligibility for special education and related services under Part B of the IDEA, 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(b)(2); or

3. Your child’s teacher or other district personnel expressed specific concerns about a pattern of behavior demonstrated by your child directly to the district’s director of special education or to other district supervisory staff, 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(b)(3).

Exceptions to a District’s KnowledgeA district would not be deemed to have such knowledge if:

1. You have previously refused consent for an evaluation of your child or you have previously refused special education services, 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(c)(1)(i)-(ii); or

2. Your child has already been evaluated and determined to not be a child with a disability under Part B of IDEA, 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(c)(2).



Conditions that Apply if There is No Basis of Knowledge.If a district does not have knowledge that your child is a child with a disability prior to taking disciplinary measures against your child, your child may be subjected to similar disciplinary consequences that are applied to children without disabilities who engage in similar behaviors. 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(d).

If a request is made for an evaluation of your child during the time period in which your child is subjected to disciplinary measures, the evaluation must be conducted in an expedited manner. 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(d)(2)(i). Until the evaluation is complete, your child remains in the educational placement determined by the district, which can include suspension or expulsion without educational services. 34 C.F.R. § 300.534(d)(2)(ii). In Minnesota, regular special education services are provided on the sixth day of a suspension and alternative education services are provided.

REFERRAL TO AND ACTION BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AND JUDICIAL AUTHORITIESA district can report a crime committed by a child with a disability to appropriate authorities and State law enforcement and judicial authorities can exercise their responsibilities under the law related to crimes committed by a child with a disability. 34 C.F.R. § 300.535(a).

Transmittal of recordsIf a district reports a crime committed by a child with a disability, the district must ensure that copies of the child’s special education and disciplinary records are transmitted to the appropriate authorities to whom the crime is reported for consideration. However, the district may only transmit copies of your child’s special education and disciplinary records to the extent permitted by FERPA. 34 C.F.R. § 300.535(b).

PRIVATE SCHOOL PLACEMENTIDEA does not require the district to pay for the cost of educating your child, including special education and related services, at a private school if the district made FAPE available to your child and you chose to place your child in a private school. 34 C.F.R. § 300.148(a). However, you may be able to recover tuition expenses for a private school placement if you informed the district of your intent to enroll your child in a private school at public expense in a timely manner and if a hearing officer finds that the district did not promptly make FAPE available to your child prior to your child being enrolled in the private school and if the private placement is appropriate. You must inform the district of your intent to place your child in a private placement at public expense at the most recent IEP/IIIP meeting prior to removal of your child from public school or by written notice to the district at least 10 business days prior to removal of your child from public school. 34 C.F.R. § 300.148(c)-(d).

Your notice must state why you disagree with the district’s proposed IEP/IIIP or placement. If a hearing officer or court finds that the district failed to provide or is unable to provide your child with an appropriate education and that the private placement is appropriate, you may be reimbursed for the cost of the private placement. Failure to tell the school of your intent to enroll your child in a private school at public expense, failure to make your child available for evaluation prior to placing your child in a private school after the district has given you notice of its intent to evaluate your child, or other unreasonable delay on your part could result in a reduction or denial of reimbursement for the private school placement. 34 C.F.R. § 300.148(d).

A hearing officer cannot reduce or deny the cost of reimbursement if: the district prevented you from being provided with this notice; you did not receive notice of your responsibilities as discussed above in



this section; or if compliance with the above requirements would likely result in physical harm to your child and if you failed to provide the required notice because you cannot write in English or if compliance with the above requirements would likely result in serious emotional harm to your child. 34 C.F.R. § 300.148(e).

Oggolaashada Siidaynta Xogta Guudahaan, oggolaashadaada waalidka ayaa loo baahanyahay kahor inta aan macluumaadka shaqsiyeed ee qofka lagu ogaanayo loo siidayn cid ama hay’ado aan fasax u haysan. Oggolaashada waa in ay ahaato mid qoraala iyo lagu xaqiijiyo shaqsiga ama hayadaha loo fasaxay in ay macluumaadka helaan: dulucda macluumaadka la siidaynayo; ujeeddada maclumaadka loo isticmaali karo; iyo waqtiga ay isticmaalka macluumadka la fasaxayo uu ku egyahay. Kaddib markii la codsado, degmadu waa in ay ku siiso koobiga maclumaadka ay siidaysay marka aad adiga u siidaysay oggolaashdan. Part B Notice of Procedural Safeguards – Somali Bogga 11 Rev.

Degmadu uma ay siidaynayso malcumaad ku jira IEP/IIEga ilmahaaga, oo uu ka mid yahay cudursheegga iyo macluumaadka daawaynta, ee la siinayo shirkad qorshe caafimaad ayada oo aan laga haysan saxiixa oggolaashadaada. Ujrooryinka ku Baxaya Raadinta, Dib u Helidda iyo Nuqul ka Samaynta Xogta Degmadu wax ujra kaama ay qaadayso raadinta ama dib u helidda xogta. Laakiin haddii aad codsato nuqullada, waxaa dhici karta in aad bixisid ujro caqligala, waa haddii aysan ujrada noqon mid ka hortagaysa xaqa aad u leedahay in ay ku fuliso dib u helidda iyo dib u eegidda xogta waxbarasahada sababtoo ah in aadan awood u lahayn in aad lacag bixiso. Baddalidda Xogta ee Waalidka Codsigiisa Haddii aad rumaysantahay in macluumaadka xogta ilmahaaga uu qalad yahay, been ah, dhammaystirnayn ama lagu jabinayo asturnaanta ilmahaaga ama xuquuqda kale, waxa aad codsan kartaa in degmadu ay xogta wax ka baddasho ama meesha ka saarto. Degmadu waa in ay go’aan ku gaarto muddo caqligala haddii ay xogta wax ka baddalayso. Haddii degmagu ay wax ka baddali weydo xogta, waa in ay kuu sheegto go’aanka iyo ay kula socodsiisaa xaqa aad u leedahay xaraysiga dacwad ka dhana degmada go’aankeeda. Haddii, kaddib marka ay natiijo soo baxdo dhagaysiga, ay degmadu go’aansato macluumaadka in uu yahay mid qalad ah, been ah, ama yahay mid jabinaya xogta canuga gaarka u ah, waa in ay kula socodsiiso in aad xaq u leedahay in aad soo raacisid warbixin fikraddaada ama diidmadaada ku saabsan iyo ay la socoto ka hortagid qaybta macluumaadka ee xogta waxbarashada canuggaaga. Dhagaysi looga hortagayo macluumaadka waxbarshada waa in la qabto ayadoo la dhawrayo nidaamka dhagaysiga ee FERPA. Wareejinta Xogta Sharciyada Minnesota waxa ay dhigayaan in degdmada, dugsi jaartar ah, ama dugsi madax bannaan wareejinta waxbarashada ardayga xogtsiisa, ay ku jirto xogta aqlaaqda, in loo wareejiyo dugsiga lagu qorayo laga bilaabo dugsiga uu ardayga uu isku qorayo muddo 10 cisho gudahooda ee wax lagu codsaday. Burburinta Xogta Degmadu waa in ay kula socodsiiso marka maclumaad qofka lagu aqoonsan karo aan loo baahnayn si loo siiyo adeegyada waxbarashada canuggaaga. Macluumaadkaas waa in la burburiyo marka aad sidaa ku codsatid. Laakiin, dugsigu waxaa dhici karta in uu reebto macluumaadka weligood meesha lagu haynayo sida, ilmahaaga magacsiisa, cinwaanka, telefoon lambarka, darajooyinka, xogta isxaadirinta, fasallada uu qaatay, heerka darajada la dhammeeyay iyo sanadka la dhammeeyay. Marka sharciga federaaliga loo eego, burburinta macnaheeda waxaa laga wadaa ka saaridda dhab ahaan wax kasta ee sheegi kara aqoonsiga gaarka ah ee macluumaadka si markaasi macluumadka aanu u noqon mid shaqsiga xogtiisa aan la aqoonsan karin Sidaa awgeed, ardayga xogtiisa uma baahna in si dhaba loo burburiyo si codsigaaga lagu aqbalo ee aad ku codstay in xogtaasi la xariirta waxbarashada la burburiyo. Degmooyinka sida laga rabay ayay ku adeeci karaan codsigaan oo si cad uga saara macluumaadka shaqsiyeed ee la aqoonsan karo ardayga xogtiisa. Nidaamka doorashada burburinta waa wax u degsan degmada dusiga. Part B Notice of Procedural Safeguards – Somali Bogga 12 Rev. April 2013



Degmadu ma ay burburin karto macluumaad kasta haddii uu codsi baaritaan ama mid dib loogu eegayo xogta uu u maqanyahay. Ayadoo la hayo wax codsigaaga lagu burburinayo xogta ay dhici karto in degmadu ay reeban karto qaar ka mida xogtaa ee u baahan in lagu dhawro Nidaamka Guud ee Waxbarashada General Education Provision Act (GEPA), kuwaasoo u baahan in qofka qaadanaya dhaqaalaha federaalka u sii haysto xogta la xariirta haysashada dhaqaalahaas.

Kooxda IEP/IIIP ee go’aaminaysa halka lagu qabanayo waxbarashada ku-meelgaarka iyo adeegyada waxbarashada qaaska ah ee ku habboon. Inkasto tan ay tahay baddalaad ku-meelgaara, waa in ay canuggaaga u oggolaato: 1. La sii wado in uu ka qaybqaato machadka waxbarashada guud iyo horumarka qancinta ujeeddooyinka loo sameeyay IEPga ilmahaaga, inkasto ay ka dhacayso meel duwan: iyo

2. Ay ka mid yihiin adeegyada iyo isbaddallada loo sameeyay si looga hortago in ay dabci-gaara mar kale u dhicin.

Haddii ilmahaaga lagu meeleyo meel waxbarasho ee kumeelgaara, kulanka IEP/IIIP waa in lagu qabto muddo 10 cisho gudaheeda ee go’aanka lagu gaaray. Kulankaan, kooxda waa in ay ka wada hadasho dabciga iyo cilaaqadka ka dhaxeeya naafannimada ilmahaaga. Kooxdu waa in ay dib u eegto macluumaadka qiimaynta ee la xariirta canuggaaga aqlaaqdiisa, iyo go’aan laga gaaro ku haboonaanta IEP/IIIP iyo qorshaha aqlaaqda canuggaaga. Kooxda waxa ay go’aan ka gaaraysaa haddii dhaqanka canuggaaga uu sababay, ama cilaaqaad toosa la leeyahay naafonimadiisa ama naafonimadeeda, ama aqlaaqda canuggaaga ay sii toosa ula xariirto dugsiga degmada uu gabay hirgalinta IEP). QAREENKA UJRADIISA DHEGAYSIGA Waxaa dhici karta in laguu soo celiyo ujrada qaarkeed ee qareenka kaaga baxday haddii aad dacwadda ku guulaysatid. Waxaa dhici karta in garsooraha uu ujrada qareenka soo gooyo taaso ku xiran sicirka ka jira jaaliyaddaada. Waxaa dhici karta in ay Maxkamaddu ay hoos u dhigto qareenka ujradiisa haddii ay soo ogaato in aad si aan caqligal u ahyn dib ugu dhigtay dhicitaanka heeshiska ama go’aanka kiiska. Haddii degmada ay guulaysato Maxkamadduna ay oggolaato in dhagaysigaagu uu ahaa sababo kasta ee ujeeddo qaldan, waxaa dhici karta in degamda kharashkiisa ee qareenka in aad adiga bixiso. KA REEBITAANKA IYO KA SAARIDDA CARUUR NAAFONIMADA QABA Kahor inta uusan canuggaga nafonimada qaba laga saarin karin ama laga reebi karin dugsiga, jiritaanka go’aanka waa in la qabto. Haddii canuggaaga aqlaaq xumadiisa uu la xariro naafonimadiisa ama naafonimadeeda, canuggaaga lama cayrin karo. Part B Notice of Procedural Safeguards – Somali Bogga 20 Rev. April 2013



Marka canug naafonimada qaba la reebo ama la cayriyo sida uu qorayo Pupil Fair Dismissal Act, Minnesota Statutes Sections 121A.41-56, sababo la xariira aqlaaqdarro uu muujiay canuggaaga naafonimadiisa, degmada waa in ay sii bixiso waxbarashada qaaska ah iyo adeegyada la xarira kaddib marka uu dhammaato muddada cayritaanka, haddii mid ay jirto. KA SAARITAANKA AQLAAQDA LA XARIIRA Haddii canug nafoonimada qaba laga saaro meelayntiisa waxbarashada uu haddda haysto, tan waxaa loo qaadanaya baddalaad ka jirta meelaynta haddii: 1. Muddda ka saaridda ay ka badanthay 10 cisho ee maalmaha dugsiga la aado ee isku xiga: ama

2. Canuggaaga la soo mariayay saritaanno dhowr ahoo joogto noqday sababtoo ah:

a. Wadarta ka saaritaannada badan ee ka badan 10 cisho ee sanad dugsiyeedka;

b. Canuggaaga aqlaaqdiisa ay si weyn u shabbahdo caqlaaqdiisa ee shilalkii hore kuwaasoo sababay ceyritaanno dhowr ah: iyo

c. Xaalado dheeraada sida dhererka cayritaanka, wadarta muddada canuggaga la cayriyay, iyo isu dhawaanta muddada cayritaannada isugu xigaan.

Go’aaminta in cayritaannada dhowrka ah ay noqonayaan baddalaad meelaynta ah waxa samaynaya degmada. Haddii go’aankan laga horyimaado iyo uu noqdo mid u baahan dib u eegid sharciga loo marayo iyo nidaamdaha garsoorka. CARUURTA AAN LOO AQQONSAN IN AY U QALMAAN WAXBARASHADA KHAASKA IYO ADEEGYADA LA XARIIRA Haddii canuggaaga la caddeyay in uusan u qalmin waxbarashada qaaska iyo adeegyada la xarira iyo jabiyo xeerka aqlaaqda caruurta, iyo dugsiga degmada ay horay u ogayd aqlaad darrada canuggaaga in canugga uu ahaa mid naafonimo qaba markaa canuggaaga waxa uu ka faaidaysan karaa difaacyada kor ku xusan. Degmada waxaa loo qaadaanaayaa in ay aqoon u leedahay in canuggaaga uu yahay canug naafonimo qaba haddii, wixii ka horreeyay aqlaaqda kalliftay in tallaabooyin aqlaaq ah laga qaado falalka dhacay awgood: 1. In aad walaac ku muujisay qoraalka aad u dirtay maamulka ama shaqaalaha agaasinka ee degmada ama baraha canuggaaga in canuggaaga uu u baahanyahay waxbarashada qaaska iyo adeegyada la xariira;

2. Adiga aad codsatay qiimayn la xariirta u qalmidda waxbarashada khaaska iyo adeegyada la xariira ee Qaybta B ee IDEA: ama Part B Notice of Procedural Safeguards – Somali Bogga 21 Rev. April 2013



3. Canuggaaga barahiisa ama shaqaalaha degmada waxa ay ka muujiyeen walaacyada qaaska ee la xariira kuna saabsan aqlaaqda isdabajoogga ah ee canuggaaga uu muujiyay ee si toosa loogu gudbiyay maamulaha degmada ee waxbarasahda khaaska ama korjoogayaal kale ee degmada.

Ka reebitaanka degmada ogaanshaheeda Degmada lagama filayo in ay hayso aqoontaaso kale haddii: 1. Haddii aad horay ugu diidday oggolaasho qiimayn ah ee canuggaaga ama haddii aad horay u diidday adeegyada waxbarashada khaaska: ama

2. Canuggaaga horay loo qiimayay go’aanna lagu gaaray in uusan ahayn canug naafonimo qabin marka la eego Qaybta B ee IDEA.

Xaaladaha la eegayo haddii aysan jirin aqoonsasho Haddii aysan degmadu aqoonsanayn in canuggaga uu yahay mid naafonimo qaba kahor inta aan tallaabooyinka aqlaaqda laga qaadin canuggaaga, canuggaaga waxa ay u badantahay in la soo mariyo waxyaabaha la marinayo caruurta aan naafonimada qabin marka ay ku kacaan waxyaabo aqlaaq ah kuwaa la mida. Haddii codsi la sameeyey si lagu qaado qiimaynta canuggaaga inta lagu jiro muddada canuggaaga tallaabo aqlaaq laga qaadayo, qiimayntu waa in qaab degdegsiya lagu sameeyo. Illaa qiimaynta la dhammaystiro, canuggaaga waxaa lagu hayn doonaa meelayn ay degmada go’aamisay, kuwaaso ay ku jiraan hakinta ama cayrin aan lahayn adeegyada waxbarashada. Halkaan Minnesota, adeegyada waxbarashada khaaska ah waxaa la siiyaa maalinka 6aad ee hakinta iyo la siiyo adeegyada waxbarashada ee duwan. FARISTA TALAABO AY QAADAYAN BOLIISKA IYO MAAMULKA GARSOORKA EE MEELAYNTA Degmada waxa ay ka warbixin kartaa dambi uu galay canug naafonimo qaba ee loo sheego hayadaha ku habboon ee boliiska Gobolka iyo maamulka garsoorka si masuliyaddooda wax uga qabtaan ayagoo dhawraya sharciyada dambiyada uu galay canug naafonimada qaba. Xoga la Gudbiyay Haddii degmadu gudbiso dambi uu galay canug naafonimada qaba, degmadu waa in ay hubiso in koobiyada canugga waxbarashadiisa khaaska ah iyo anshax ama aruurinta loo diro maamullada ku habboon kuwaaso dembiga loogu dirayo s tallaabo ay uga qaadaan. Laakiin, degmadu waxa kaliya oo ay diri doonta koobiyada canuggaaga waxbarashadiisa khaaska ah ee keliya iyo xogta anshaxmarinta illaa heerka ay oggoshahay FERPA. MEELAYNTA DUGSIYADA GAARKA LOO LEEYAHAY IDEA ugama baahna in ay degmadu bixiso kharashka waxbarashada canugga, ay ku jiraan waxbarashada khaaska iyo adeegyada la xariira, kuwa dugsiyada gaarka haddii degmada ay FAPE u Part B Notice of Procedural Safeguards – Somali Bogga 22 Rev. April 2013



diyaarisay canuggaaga iyo in ay canuggaaga ku meelayso dugsi gaar loo leeyahay. Laakiin, waxaa dhici karta in laguu soo celiyo lacagta kaaga baxday waxbarashada meelaynta dugsiga gaarka loo leeyahay haddii aad adiga degmada ku wargalisay ujeedaada ah in aad canuggaga ku qortid dugsi gaar loo leeyahay oo dawladduna qarashkiisa kabayso waqti cayiman iyo haddii sarkaalka dhagaysiga uu ogaado in degmadu aysan sida ugu dhaqsiya badan FAPE ugu diyarin canuggaaga kahor inta aan canuggaaga lagu qorin dugsiga gaarka loo leeyahay haddii ay meelaynta dugsiga gaarka loo leeyahay ay ku habboontahay. Waa in aad adiga degmada u sheegtaa in aad rabtid in aad canuggaaga ku meelayso meel gaar loo leeyahay ayadoo ay dawladda kharashka bixinayso iyo kulankii ugu dhawaa ee IEP/IIIP kahor inta aan canuggaaga laga saarin dugisyada guud ugu yaraan Ogaysiiskaaga waa in aad ku sheegtid sababta aad ku qilaaftay IEP/lllP ay degmada soo jeedisay ama meelaynta. Haddii sarkaalka dhagaysiga ee maxkmadda uu ogaado in degnadu ay qaldantay in ay bixiso ama aysan bixin karin waxa waxbarashda canuggaga ku habboon iyo in waxbarashada gaarka ay ku habboontahay, waxaa dhici karta in adiga laguu celiyo kharashka kaaga baxay meelaynta gaarka. Guuldarrada ka timaadda in aanan dugsigaaga loo sheegin isku qorista canuggaaga ee dugsi gaar loo leeyahay dawladduna ay kharashka bixinayso, guuldarrada ka timaadda marka canuggaaga aad u samayso qiimayn kahor inta aadan ku meelayn dugsi gaar loo leeyahay kaddib marka degmada ay ku siisay ogaysiis lagu doonayo in lagu qiimayo canuggaaga, ama ay jiraan dib u dhacyo kale ee aan macno lahayn ee dhinacaaga ka yimaada waxa ay sababi karaan in la dhimo ama laguu diido lacag celinta loogu talagalay meelaynta dugsi gaar loo leeyahay.

Sarkaalka dhagaysiga ma u dhimi karto ama ma diidi karo lacag celinta haddii: degmada ay ka hortimid in adiga lagu siiyo ogaysiiskan; aan adiga lagu siin ogaysiiska masuuliyadahaaga sida lagu qoray shuruudaha kore ee qaybtan; ama haddii cabashada shuruudaha kor ku xusan ay natiijadooda keenayso dhaawac loo gaysto canuggaaga iyo haddii aad ku guuldarraysatay in lagu siiyo ogaysiiska loo baahna sababtoo ah adiga af ingiriis aan qori karin ama haddii cabashada shurudaha kore la socota ay dhalin karto halisyo weyn ee xagga qiirada in canuggaaga loo gaysto.
