It may include only: the child's name, age and gender; each parent's name and address; a signed responsibility statement; the educational plan; the last public school attended (and an optional records-release prohibition). The district must accept a complete notice, may not ask for more, and must give a written acknowledgment (kept 15 years) that serves as proof of compliance. File a new notice within 30 days if the name or address changes.
