Board members owe duties of care (informed decision-making), loyalty (no self-dealing), and obedience (consistent with the mission). The duties are distinct: a member can satisfy care while violating loyalty, or vice versa. Most board mistakes involve loyalty (related-party transactions without disclosure).
State attorneys general can pursue board members personally for breaches; D&O insurance typically covers care violations but excludes intentional loyalty breaches. Confusing the duties leaves members exposed without realizing it.
The coordinator role is not honorary — federal regulations require the coordinator to coordinate the institution's compliance efforts, monitor outcomes, identify patterns, and ensure that grievance procedures are followed. Naming someone without giving them authority or time is a finding waiting to happen.
OCR investigations frequently cite "coordinator in name only" as systemic non-compliance, escalating individual incidents into institution-wide enforcement. The coordinator function is a litigation fingerprint.
Federal IDEA gives parents specific rights — to consent or refuse evaluations, to participate in placement decisions, to request independent educational evaluations at district expense — that are routinely waived by signing a standard IEP without raising objections. Once signed, undoing a placement decision is procedurally heavy.
Districts have neither the obligation nor the resources to re-explain rights at every meeting; the procedural-safeguards notice is delivered annually and that satisfies the legal requirement. Parents who do not know the rights cannot exercise them.
