Ennis Britton's On the Call

On the Call: Prior Written Notice

Jeremy Neff and Erin Wessendorf-Wortman Season 3 Episode 18

Prior Written Notices are designed to ensure parents are fully informed and able to participate meaningfully in decisions about their child’s education. In this episode, Erin and Jeremy examine a case from New Mexico in which a district’s inconsistent and insufficient notices resulted in a finding of noncompliance and a denial of FAPE. They discuss the legal requirements surrounding PWNs, the consequences of failing to meet those standards, and offer practical guidance for drafting notices that are both timely and substantively adequate.
