Orange California Local Educational Agency Response to JV-535 — Appointment of Surrogate Parent The Orange California Local Educational Agency (LEA) has developed comprehensive policies and procedures in response to JV-535 — Appointment of Surrogate Parent. These guidelines ensure that students with disabilities receive appropriate educational support and advocacy when their parents or guardians are unable to fulfill their role. One type of response that the Orange California LEA provides is the appointment of a surrogate parent. When a student requires special education services and does not have a parent or guardian available to act on their behalf, the LEA ensures that a qualified individual is appointed as a surrogate parent. This surrogate parent acts as a representation for the student, making educational decisions and advocating for their best interests. In order to appoint a suitable surrogate parent, the Orange California LEA follows a rigorous selection process. They review potential candidates who have expressed interest in serving as surrogate parents and ensure that they meet specific criteria. These criteria include having a genuine concern for the student's welfare, possessing knowledge of special education laws and regulations, and demonstrating the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with school staff and other stakeholders. Once appointed, the surrogate parent works closely with the Orange California LEA and other relevant parties to ensure the student's educational needs are met. They participate in Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, collaborate with teachers and school staff, and serve as a resource for the student and their family. The surrogate parent maintains regular communication with the LEA, updating them on the student's progress and any concerns that may arise. Moreover, the Orange California LEA also provides ongoing training and support for surrogate parents. They offer workshops and resources to help them stay updated on special education laws, effective advocacy strategies, and various educational programs and services available to students with disabilities. The appointment of a surrogate parent is just one aspect of the Orange California LEA's response to JV-535. They have also established protocols for identifying and evaluating students who may require a surrogate parent, as well as procedures for ensuring the ongoing effectiveness of the surrogate parent's role. These measures are in place to guarantee that students with disabilities receive the necessary support and advocacy to thrive academically and socially. In summary, the Orange California LEA's response to JV-535 — Appointment of Surrogate Parent involves a thorough selection process, ongoing support and training for surrogate parents, and effective collaboration with school staff and families. These efforts ultimately ensure that students with disabilities have a competent and dedicated advocate to protect their educational rights and promote their overall well-being.Orange California Local Educational Agency Response to JV-535 — Appointment of Surrogate Parent The Orange California Local Educational Agency (LEA) has developed comprehensive policies and procedures in response to JV-535 — Appointment of Surrogate Parent.
