All program options and modifications should be exhausted prior to an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team recommending consideration of a NPS/NPA placement. This chapter contains information regarding the placement of children with disabilities in NPS/NPA placements. Each Local Education Agency (LEA) that contracts with a NPS shall evaluate the placement of children attending such schools on at least an annual basis as part of the annual IEP review. The LEA representative shall review the Master Contract, Individual Service Agreement (ISA), and the IEP to ensure that all services agreed upon and specified in the IEP are provided.
