f. Any additional information. B. Within 10 business days of receipt of the completed referral packet, the DMCS Nonpublic School Coordinator will review the packet for completion and forward it to the Charter LEA’s NPS school of choice. The NPS will contact the parent and/or guardian and placement will be made within 10 business days. 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 DMCS. 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 DMCS 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 DMCS Non-Public Schools Coordinator for group home and foster-placed children. The federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act requires schools to enroll new students who are homeless even if their immunization records are missing or unavailable at the time of enrollment. California law requires schools to immediately enroll foster children transferring to their school even if a foster child is unable to produce immunization records normally required for school entry. Charter LEAs, parents, caregivers, foster parents, and group home staff should work with their local county health agencies to assist children in obtaining immunization records and/or immunizations for those children who are identified as needing additional immunizations. The law still requires that the school obtain the child’s immunization record and ensure that the foster child has met all immunization requirements (i.e., Senate Bill (SB) 277 requirements, June 2015). Charter LEAs must also track children they admit without proof of immunization so that they can be protected in case of an outbreak of any vaccine-covered disease.
