Parent Question

In some districts, the principal may attend the IEP meeting. They should have knowledge of the types of resources the school can provide, and might also be a former teacher. The principal may also serve as the note-taker during the meeting, and can also mediate disagreements and help make decisions on any changes in the student’s schedule or services.
