About you

The district

Your child

Your concerns

Despite years of IEP services, my child’s reading scores show a lack of appropriate progress.
The same goals have been repeated on the IEP year after year without meaningful change.
The placement and services offered at the most recent IEP meeting do not address my child’s identified needs.
Progress reports describe progress that the assessment data does not show.

Dates

Earliest removal date the law allows if you send on that day, counted as 10 business days (weekends skipped; holidays on weekdays count, per the regulation):

Send it in a way that proves the date: email with delivery confirmation, certified mail with return receipt, or hand delivery with a date-stamped copy. Keep a copy with your records. If you attend an IEP meeting before withdrawing, also state there that you are rejecting the proposed placement and intend to enroll your child in a private school at public expense.

Why this notice matters

Federal law says tuition reimbursement may be reduced or denied if you withdraw your child without first giving the district written notice, at least 10 business days ahead, that you are rejecting its placement and enrolling your child in a private school at public expense (34 C.F.R. § 300.148(d)). This tool builds that letter, with all three required statements and your deadline counted correctly.
