The SELPA 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 SELPA 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 SELPA 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.
