The Power of a “Stay-Put” Motion

Are you paying attention to the calendar? As we find ourselves in the last few weeks of the school year, this is your friendly reminder to act fast for the annual transition IEP meetings that should be happening. In today’s episode, we are discussing the power of “stay put” as it applies to keeping things the same in IEP accommodations and services while being in disagreement with a proposed change. Join us for a closer look!

Show Highlights:

• “Stay put” is not just for due process cases but is one of the most important parental legal rights.
• The federal law is consistent but state-to-state nuances depend on consent status.
• Understanding how stay-put reverts to the last consented-to IEP
• Real-life examples of stay-put scenarios
• Our recommendations for a partial consent/partial stay-put
• Understanding the word placement as it’s used in IEP language
• Potential exceptions to the stay-put rule
