14.0 Desert/Mountain Operations (DMOPs) The Desert/Mountain Operations or “County” provides educational settings and services to students severely impacted by their disability and who require specialized academic instruction (SAI). There may be times when a student’s access to the curriculum requires significant accommodations that cannot be met within the LEA. The LEA can make a referral into a program operated by County when such a class is not operated by the LEA. A. Pre-referral LEA Responsibility:
1. Convene an IEP meeting to discuss and consider the continuum of placement options and/or services. Invite County representative to the IEP meeting to discuss available programs and to contribute to the discussion of continuum programs, placement, and service options. In the event County is unable to attend the meeting, the LEA shall present a description and/or informational materials about the available County programs and rationale for placement dependent on the student’s unique needs. The only exception to the above-mentioned is the referral for itinerant and preschool assessments. 2. Complete the SBCSS DMOPs Referral form (DM 85) and obtain the signatures of the person making the referral and the director of special education.
