In Ohio we have a provision in our state regulations that requires parental consent for a change of placement. This is not the consent for initial placement and services, but rather for a student who has been receiving special education services. The federal regulations state this is an IEP team decision. I have information that only 7 other states have this regulation: CA, KS, MA, MT, NH, VA, and DC. If you have any information and a citation for this regulation in any of the above states (and DC), please send it to me.
