Due process in special education protects rights during which process?

• A. Reporting student grades
• B. Identifying, evaluating, and determining services or placement
• C. Scheduling lunch periods
• D. Hiring teachers

Answer: (B)

Due process in special education protects rights during the steps that determine whether a child has a disability and what services or placement are provided. Specifically, it covers identification, evaluation, and decisions about services or placement, giving families a say and a path to dispute decisions through formal procedures if needed. Routine tasks like reporting grades, scheduling lunch periods, or hiring teachers are not the aspects protected by due process in this context.
