The NPS will work directly with the Charter LEA to schedule an IEP within 30 days of the child’s placement at the school. The placement should be listed on an IEP or IEP Addendum including the NPS, start date, duration, and frequency. The IEP or IEP Addendum should be forwarded to the Nonpublic School Coordinator at the Charter SELPA. NOTE: Within 30 days of placement, the Charter LEA will make every effort to locate student records including IEPs, psychological assessments, immunization records, and birth certificates. If no school records can be located, the Charter LEA will assess the child in all suspected areas of disability. Every effort will be made to assess these children within the 30-day placement. Within five business days of receipt of the Addendum to the IEP, the Charter SELPA Nonpublic School Coordinator will assist the Charter LEA, if requested, in developing a Master Contract with the NPS if one does not currently exist and an ISA. The ISA will be forwarded to the appropriate NPS for signature. The Charter LEA will enter the NPS placement into the SELPA Management Information System (MIS) database. The Charter LEA may access additional support from the Charter SELPA Non- Public Schools Coordinator for group home and foster-placed children.
