Policy – Category 5000 (Students)
BP 5005 – Supports and Services
The extent of placement within the LRE is regularly reviewed by the DMSELPA. It is the DMSELPA ’s expressed intent that all students shall be educated to the maximum extent appropriate with their nondisabled peers, and special classes or removal of students with disabilities from the general educational environment shall only occur if the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily. In summary, students are placed in settings based on the needs set forth in their IEP and not solely on the disabling condition, configuration of services, availability of staff, or administrative expediency.
