Who is NOT required to attend admissions and release committee meetings?

Teacher organization officials are not required to attend admissions and release committee meetings because their role is typically more focused on supporting teachers rather than directly participating in the decision-making processes related to specific students' admissions or program placements. Admissions and release committee meetings primarily involve those who have direct responsibility for student education, such as teachers who are working with those students, parents who have a vested interest in their child’s educational placement, and school board members who oversee policy.

Their absence does not hinder the functioning of the committee, as the essential participants are those directly involved in education and the welfare of the student body, ensuring that decisions made are reflective of the needs and interests of the students being discussed.
