603 CMR 23.08 - Amending the Student Record
(1) The eligible
student or the parent shall have the right to add information, comments, data,
or any other relevant written material to the student record.
(2) The eligible student or the parent shall
have the right to request in writing deletion or amendment of any information
contained in the student record, except for information which was inserted into
that record by an Evaluation Team. Such information inserted by an Evaluation
Team shall not be subject to such a request until after the acceptance of the
Evaluation Team Educational Plan, or, if the Evaluation Team Educational Plan
is rejected, after the completion of the special education appeal process. Any
deletion or amendment shall be made in accordance with the procedure described
below:
(a) If such student or parent is of
the opinion that adding information is not sufficient to explain, clarify or
correct objectionable material in the student record, either student or parent
shall present the objection in writing and/or have the right to have a
conference with the principal or his/her designee to make the objections
known.
(b) The principal or his/her
designee shall within one week after the conference or receipt of the
objection, if no conference was requested, render to such student or parent a
decision in writing, stating the reason or reasons for the decision. If the
decision is in favor of the student or parent, the principal or his/her
designee shall promptly take such steps as may be necessary to put the decision
into effect.
