More detail
Parents may have a representative obtain copies of covered records about their child. This covers parents of children with disabilities and records about their child's evaluation, school program, placement, and public education. Copies may exclude the test or evaluation tool itself. A school district or state agency may provide copies free or charge no more than their actual cost. Fees cannot effectively prevent parents from inspecting, reviewing, and copying records.
