What is an IPRC?

IPRC stands for Identification, Placement, and Review Committee. 

An IPRC is the only process by which a pupil can be identified as "exceptional" and therefore becomes entitled to "Special Education programs" and "Special Education services". Your child may still be able to receive remedial help through the school if he/she is having some difficulty, but the IPRC is the official method of "legally entitling" students to Special Education.
