BP 2005 – Private Schools and Services
On an annual basis, the DMSELPA shall consult with appropriate representatives of private school children in deciding how to conduct the annual count of the number of private school children with disabilities. Upon conducting the annual count of the number of private school children with disabilities and determining the amount of the DMSELPA ’s total sub -grant under sections 611(f) and 619(g) of the IDEA 2004 to be expended on private school children, the DMSELPA shall consult with appropriate representatives of private school children, on an annual basis, on the following issues:
1. Which children will receive services;
2. What services will be provided and by whom;
3. How and where the services will be provided; and
4. How the services provided will be evaluated.
The DMSELPA shall give appropriate representatives of private school children with disabilities a genuine opportunity to express their views regarding the issues listed above. Such consultation shall occur before the DMSELPA Board of Directors makes any decision that affects the opportunities of private school children with disabilities to participate in services offered by the public schools. Each participating Local Education Agency (LEA) of the DMSELPA providing services shall initiate and conduct meetings to develop, review, and revise a services plan for a private school child with a disability who receives special education or related services from the LEA. Each LEA providing services shall ensure that a representative of the private school is involved in the development, review, or revision of a services plan and that the LEA in which the student resides is invited to the meeting. If a representative of a private school cannot attend a meeting to develop, review, or revise an Individual Education Plan (IEP), the LEA shall use other methods to ensure participation by the private school, including individual or conference telephone calls.
