guardian must be by certified mail. The notification by CEPI must clearly state, at a
minimum, that, if a parent or legal guardian receives a notification from CEPI under
this subsection, the parent or legal guardian may request a meeting with school officials
to discuss the student's lack of proficiency and grade-level performance. If a parent or
