What condition allows the district's attorney to attend a resolution meeting?

• A. The parent has an attorney at the meeting.
• B. The district's attorney attends by default.
• C. The attorney must be appointed by the SEA.
• D. The attorney can attend only if the parent has an attorney at the meeting.

Answer: (A)

In a resolution meeting, who sits at the table with legal counsel is tied to whether the parent has an attorney. The district's attorney may attend only when the parent is represented by counsel at the meeting. This setup helps ensure both sides can negotiate on equal footing and understand the legal implications of any proposed resolution.

So, the key idea is that the district’s attorney attendance is conditional on the parent bringing an attorney to the meeting. If the parent does not have counsel, the district would not typically have its attorney present. The other options aren’t correct because they describe attendance as automatic, or introduce requirements that aren’t part of the process.
