Procedural Safeguards Notice

  • The Office of Special Education has revised the mandatory New York State Procedural Safeguards Notice: Rights for Parents of Children with Disabilities, Ages 3-21.  References to the Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID) were replaced with the Office of Special Education, the mailing address for filing of a State complaint was updated and website links were updated.  None of the changes are substantive, and therefore districts are not required to replace any previously duplicated copies to disseminate to parents but should use this version when making new duplications of the notice.
