Draft PART D: The Identification, Placement, and Review Committee (IPRC) Process The school board decision will be implemented when:
• the parent consents in writing;
• there is no appeal to the SET within thirty days of the parent’s receiving
notice of the decision; or
• the appeal to the SET has been dismissed or abandoned.
Nothing prevents the school board and the parent from coming to an agreement that differs from the original school board decision. If so, the school board must give notice of the new decision to the same people to whom it sent the original statement of decision.
