Such instruction will be provided at minimum at least once every three years by the Division of Special Education direct services programs and consistent with IEPs established for individual students at their annual PPT meetings. Cooperative Educational Services permits parents or guardians to exempt their child from such instruction upon receipt of a written request from the parent or guardian. Parents or guardians will be annually notified of their right to exempt their child from such instruction. Students exempt from such instruction will participate in alternate instruction consistent with the student’s IEP.
