Hi
i found this for you, hope it helps:
The school must get the parents' permission to move to the next step of the special education process. You give permission for the school to write an IEP by signing the report. Do not sign the report if you do not agree with it.
Here is the website i got the info from

and this to back it up
May a parent refuse the initial provision of special education services?
Yes. If a student's parent refuses to accept the District's initial offer of special education services, the student will remain in the regular education program and the District cannot file for due process to override the lack of consent. If this happens at school site you should document in a letter to the parent that the District had developed an IEP for the student but cannot implement it because of the parents' lack of consent i.e., did not sign IEP?
