This page should help provide tips and templates for writing requests to East Ramapo Central School District.

• To request waiving services for your child, the wording should state:

I, (guardian's name), would like to waive speech serivces for my child (Child's Name), Child's Date Of Birth for the 20__-20__ school year.

• To request revoking services for your child, the wording should state:

The difference between 'waiving' and 'revoking' service is:

Waiving services stops the service for the current year, but the child may still be tested at annual review time to assess their needs.

Revoking services takes the services off of the IEP. However, it is important to note that the case is never locked. It can always be reopened if the parent choses to have their child evaluated at any time, thereafter.

If a parent does not feel they want their child being pulled for services any more, revoking would be warranted. However, if for some reason, the parent choses to hold off services just for the current year, waiving would be the better option.
