Which item is NOT required to be included in the 10-day notice for a prior written notice (PWN)?

• A. Information about what the district wants to do or refuse
• B. A statement that parents have due process rights and how to obtain a copy of procedural safeguards
• C. Sources the parent can contact to obtain assistance in understanding due process rights
• D. The district's current school lunch menu

Answer: (D)

A prior written notice tells parents what a district plans to do or refuses to do about a student’s identification, evaluation, placement, or the provision of a free appropriate public education, and it must clearly lay out the action, the reasons, and the data supporting it. It also covers other options that were considered and why those options were rejected, describes the proposed services and how they will be delivered, and includes information about procedural safeguards and how to obtain them, plus sources parents can contact for help understanding their rights. The district’s current school lunch menu isn’t related to identification, evaluation, placement, or FAPE, so it is not required to be included in the ten-day notice.
