Access to Records

  
You have the right to inspect and review all of the records, collected, maintained or used by the district regarding your child with R-CIS and to have them clearly explained to you. You have the right to obtain copies of the records if failure to provide copies effectively prevents you from exercising your right to inspect and review them. The district may charge a fee for copies of the records if the fee does not prevent you from inspecting and reviewing the records. The district may not charge a fee to search for or to retrieve information regarding your child with R-CIS. You also have the right to have your representative inspect and review the records. Additionally, the district must presume that you have authority to inspect and review records relating to your child with R-CIS unless the district has been advised that you don't have the authority under applicable state law governing such matters as guardianship, separation, and divorce.

The district shall comply with a request to access records without unnecessary delay and before any meeting regarding an individualized education program or hearing related to the identification, evaluation, or placement of the child with R-CIS, and in no case more than 45 days after the request has been made.
