    How would schools determine which outside experts to include in notifications, and what guidance should the Department of Education provide?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that parents are currently unaware of their right to include outside experts in special education meetings?

  3. 03

    Could notification requirements create pressure on schools to fund expert participation if parents lack resources to pay for specialists?
