Background & Context
3 stories
3.1
The IEP procedural safeguards parents most often waive accidentally.
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.
Why It Matters
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.
3.2
Directory information disclosures that are FERPA-compliant in form but not in spirit.
FERPA permits disclosure of "directory information" without consent if the institution has noticed students of the categories and the right to opt out. The defect: many institutions treat the categories as broad (full address, full schedule) when narrower defaults would meet operational needs. A student suing on a directory disclosure typically wins on overbreadth, not technical violation.
Why It Matters
Tightening directory-information defaults is free, low-risk, and removes a category of avoidable complaints. Most institutions inherited their lists from a prior generation of administrators.
3.3
Three fiduciary duties that nonprofit boards routinely confuse.
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).
Why It Matters
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.
