local advisory committee (the "committee�), or provide the contact information for
the committee; and
(2) Post or otherwise list the dates of meetings of the committee during the school year.

by the district. Upon receipt of a notice under this section, the district superintendent
and the director of special education shall investigate the notice to determine if
the committee is or is not active. If the committee is not active, the district shall
investigate why the committee is not active and shall undertake efforts to make the
committee active.

adult�) of a student who is disabled, which meeting involves a review, modification,
or continuation of that student's individual education program or 504 plan, the district
shall provide a written notice to the responsible adult that informs the responsible
adult of the provisions of this section, including, but not limited to, the contact
information for the committee and the dates of scheduled meetings.
