Both state and federal laws provide that children with disabilities are entitled to FAPE that includes special education and related services to meet their unique needs in the least restrictive environment (LRE). Each Charter LEA member must ensure that all children served under their jurisdiction who have disabilities, regardless of the severity of their disability, and who are in need of special education and related services, are identified, located, evaluated, and served. Charter LEA members of the Charter SELPA may be diverse geographically. Given this fact, the Charter SELPA will provide funding per the allocation plan to Charter LEA members so that they may appropriately provide for all children with disabilities attending their schools. This obligation can be met in several ways, which may include: 1. Hiring appropriately credentialed or licensed special education staff to provide necessary services; 2. Contracting with a geographical LEA to provide the necessary services; and/or 3. Contracting with a nonpublic agency/school (NPA/S) to provide all necessary personnel to appropriately implement IEPs. NOTE: Contracted NPA/S providers must be CDE-certified for the Charter LEA to use special education funding for services.
