There is no requirement in the federal law or federal regulations that an IEP include &#8220;minutes or deliberations or notes&#8221; so this is probably a local policy. If the school has minutes, notes,  or other documentation from IEP meetings, these notes and minutes are <strong>part of your child&#8217;s record and available to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What should you do to set the record straight?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As a parent, you have to pick your battles. If the notes contain incorrect information, or do not include important information or discussions, you need to write a letter or statement to correct the record. Your letter should include examples of these errors and a request that the record be corrected. Explain that the meeting was recorded so it should not be difficult to correct the errors. Your letter will become part of your child&#8217;s education record.<\/p>\n<p>Since you recorded the meeting, your recording is the best evidence of what was discussed and not discussed. You can provide the team with a copy of your recording to help them correct the errors. If the school has a copy of your recording, that will also become part of your child&#8217;s record. If you have a problem later that cannot be resolved informally, and you need to request a due process hearing, this documentation will be very useful as evidence. If you take these steps now, the district may abandon the idea of bringing a note-taker to your meetings in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I record all school meetings.
