Annual Notice of Services

The Procedural Safeguards Notice (July 2018) describes the rights of a parent of a child with a disability and the procedures that safeguard those rights under state and federal special education law, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, commonly referred to as "IDEA 2004". These laws and regulations require schools to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to all students with disabilities who are in need of special education.

A free appropriate public education, or FAPE, means special education and related services designed to meet the individual educational needs of your child are provided, at no cost to you, in conformity with your child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). Please note that the Procedural Safeguards Notice is developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) and is used consistently across the state. You can expect to receive a copy of the PSN at least one time per school year, although a general practice in the District is to send the PSN more often. If you have questions about the information in the PSN, please contact the District's Director of Student Services and Special Education (Kimberly Fraser at fraserk@lmsd.org or 610.645.1918).
