The publication must contain ten points of information, which are described in the act. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education must post a copy of it on its website. Each school district must provide a copy of "The Parents' Bill of Rights" upon initial referral for evaluation and at any such time as a school district is required under state or federal law to provide the parent or parents with notice of procedural safeguards.
