Do Not Sign Your Child 's Rights Away!

Chapter 16 is Special Education in Pennsylvania Law. If a district tells you that gifted education is no longer special education, they should contact the PDE (Pennsylvania Department of Education) for clarification. Gifted education has never been mandated under federal law, but it is mandated under Pennsylvania law. Learning the terminology is one of the biggest challenges to parents.

Do not sign a NORA (Notice of Recommended Assignment) that removes your child from the protection of gifted education law.
