Parents gain clearer special education rights

Delaware parents of children with disabilities can inspect records about their child's identification, evaluation, education program, placement, and free appropriate public education. Parents or their representatives can review these records and get copies, except for actual evaluation or examination instruments. The school district or state agency can provide copies free or charge no more than the actual cost. No fee can effectively prevent parents from inspecting, reviewing, or copying records. Parents or their representatives can also visit and observe the child's current or proposed public education program.
