Procedural Safeguards Notice

The school must provide you with a written explanation of your rights under both the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Arizona laws at least once per year. You may ask the school for a verbal explanation of these rights if you need it. Click on the links below to access the Procedural Safeguards Notice in your native language.

 A parent-friendly companion for the Procedural Safeguards Notice is available from the Arizona Department of Education here: Traveling the Special Education Highway - PDF I Viaje por la autopista de Educación Especial - PDF.
