Introduction The Desert/Mountain Charter Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) recognizes the need to actively seek out and evaluate school-age Charter Local Educational Agency (LEA) residents who have disabilities in order to provide them with appropriate educational opportunities in accordance with state and federal laws. Charter schools are currently authorized to serve school-age students (Grades 1-12; Education Code § 47610(c) ). If at any time the authorization changes, the Charter school would follow all state and federal laws regarding children birth to two and Child Find requirements. Charter schools will assist families and make appropriate referrals for any child they find who would be outside the age or area of responsibility of the Charter schools.
