Question Presented (from Petition)

This is a matter of first impression in the Federal and California Court systems.

1. Are Individual Educational Placement ("IEP") meetings Official Proceedings?

2. Do parents have the right to record IEP meetings, and use the content of those recorded IEP meetings in subsequent court actions?

3. Is an IEP meeting an "issue of public interest."

4. Whether a parent, guardian, or local educational agency has a right under federal law to audio record IEP meetings and use the content of those recordings, without fear of retribution?
