Part 3525.1354 - TEAM OVERRIDE ON ELIGIBILITY DECISIONS

Universal Citation: MN Rules 3525.1354

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 27, December 30, 2024

Subpart 1. Documentation required.

The team may determine that a pupil is eligible for special instruction and related services because the pupil has a disability and needs special instruction even though the pupil does not meet the specific requirement in parts 3525.1325 to 3525.1345 and 3525.2335. The team must include the documentation in the pupil's special education record according to items A, B, C, and D.

A. The pupil's record must contain documents that explain why the standards and procedures used with the majority of pupils resulted in invalid findings for this pupil.

B. The record must indicate what objective data were used to conclude that the pupil has a disability and is in need of special instruction and related services. These data include, for example, test scores, work products, self-reports, teacher comments, medical data, previous testings, observational data, ecological assessments, and other developmental data.

C. Because the eligibility decision is based on a synthesis of multiple data and not all data are equally valid, the team must indicate which data had the greatest relative importance for the eligibility decision.

D. The team override decision must be signed by the team members agreeing to the override decision. For those team members who disagree with the override decision, a statement of why they disagree and their signature must be included.
