The team is to consider parent input in identifying supports to address behaviors that caused the classroom clear.a. If the parent of a student with an IEP chooses not to participate in the meeting, the school will follow procedures to document efforts to invite the parent, as required by rule 281-41.322 (256B, 34CFR300), and inform the parent of proposed changes to the IEP or BIP, or both, pursuant to rule 281-41.503 (256B, 34CFR300 ).b.
