CSC Minutes and PWN are a combined form. Minutes are taken noting the following:
 the purpose of the meeting,
 the action the CSC proposes or refuses,
 the evaluation procedure, assessment, record, or report the CSC used in deciding to propose or
refuse the action,
 a statement as any other choices that the CSC considered and the reasons why those choices
were rejected,
 a statement as to all options considered by the CSC when proposing or refusing the action and
the reasons for acceptance or rejection, and
 a summary of discussion/deliberation as to why the CSC proposed or refused the
action.
In all cases, it is important that the school provide the parent with a clear explanation as
to why the action is being taken and any other factors, if any, that may be relevant.
