8.0
Extracurricular Activities If a child’s extracurricular program or nonacademic activity is related to the child’s IEP goals, then a Charter LEA is required to provide the transportation services the child needs to participate in that activity. Federal regulations state, Title 34 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 300.107. The State must ensure the following: (a) Each public agency must take steps, including the provision of supplementary aids and services determined appropriate and necessary by the child’s IEP Team, to provide nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities in the manner necessary to afford children with disabilities and equal opportunity for participation in those services and activities. (b) Nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities may include counseling services, athletics, transportation, health services, recreational activities, special interest groups or clubs sponsored by the public agency, referrals to agencies that provide assistance to individuals with disabilities, and employment by the public agency and assistance in making outside employment available.
The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSERS) has stated that a child’s right to transportation to and from school-related activities that occur outside of normal school hours depends on whether the IEP team has determined that the child needs transportation to benefit from special education and related services (OSERS, 2009). 9.0 Suspension from the Bus When a child receiving special education services is suspended from bus transportation ( Education Code §§ 48900 - 48900.7 ), the suspension can constitute a significant change in placement if the Charter LEA : a. Has been transporting the child b. Suspends the child from transportation as a disciplinary measure
