Timeline for Assessment Upon receipt of the completed referral: • The Nonpublic School Coordinator at the SELPA will forward the referral to the DMCC for processing. • The DMCC will send out an Assessment Plan (D/M 66) to the parent/guardian for consent for assessment. • Upon receipt of the signed Assessment Plan (D/M 66), the 60-day assessment timeline begins. • The DMCC will conduct the assessment. • The DMCC will contact the Nonpublic School Coordinator at the SELPA when the assessment is complete to schedule an IEP. Timeline for Services Upon completion of the residential assessment, the Nonpublic School Coordinator at the SELPA will coordinate an IEP team meeting to determine eligibility for residential placement services. If the IEP team agrees that the student is eligible for and requires residential placement as the least restrictive environment, the DMCC will forward residential placement packets to potential residential treatment centers (RTCs). Upon receipt of responses from the residential facilities, the results will be shared with the student’s parent/guardian and a facility will be selected. The student will be enrolled at the selected RTC as soon as possible. Transportation of the student to the RTC is based on the LEA of residence’s reimbursement policy. After the student is placed at the RTC, the LEA of residence will schedule a transfer IEP meeting within 30 days to document the new placement. The placement should be listed on an IEP document, including the NPS, residential placement, start date, duration, and frequency of each service to be provided. Within five business days of receipt of the Addendum to the IEP, the Nonpublic School Coordinator at the SELPA will develop an Individual Service Agreement (ISA) with the NPS and RTC. If a Master Contract does not exist, one will be developed and an ISA. The SELPA will enter the NPS and RTC placement into the SELPA Management Information System (MIS) database. Transfer Referral The local education agency that placed the student at the beginning of the fiscal year is responsible for funding the residential placement for the remainder of the school year, including extended school year (ESY).
