• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 20: EDUCATION
• Art. 32: STUDENT STANDARDS, ASSESSMENTS, AND
• Ch. 4: Graduation Requirements

Text

(a) This section applies to a student who is
a student with a disability (as defined in IC 20-35-1-8).
(b) During the annual case review held when the student is in grade
8, the case conference committee (as defined in IC 20-35-9-3) shall, as
a part of the annual case review, discuss with the student's parent and
the student, if appropriate:
(1) the types of designations available for students to receive with
an Indiana diploma;
(2) the course requirements for each type of designation; and
(3) employment and career options for the student and the type of
academic, technical, and vocational preparation necessary to
achieve the employment or career.
The student's individualized education program must include the type
of designation the student will seek and courses that allow the student
to progress toward an Indiana diploma with the selected designation in
a timely manner.
(c) Beginning in grade 9 and in addition to the annual case review,
the student's teacher of record shall communicate at least one (1) time
each grading period with the student's parent concerning the student's
progress toward an Indiana diploma with the selected designation. If
the parent requests a meeting with the teacher of record to discuss the
student's progress, the teacher must meet with the parent in a timely
manner. A meeting under this subsection does not constitute a case
conference committee meeting, and a request for a meeting under this
subsection does not abrogate a parent's right to call for a meeting of the
case conference committee at any time.
