Another provision in the law states, <\/span>\u201cAt the request of the supervisor, persons with other qualifications may conduct the evaluation with the prior consent of the district of residence superintendent.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Therefore, an individual who does not meet any of the criteria from the previous page may receive permission from a school district superintendent to evaluate students. To receive this permission, the parent must request the superintendent to approve the person he\/she wants to\u00a0 evaluate his children.
