BP 6003 – Nonpublic Schools and Agencies
Within five business days of receipt of the Addendum to the IEP, the DMSELPA Nonpublic School Coordinator will develop a Master Contract with the NPS if one does not currently exist and an ISA. The ISA will be forwarded to the appropriate NPS for signature. The DMSELPA will enter the NPS placement into the DMSELPA Management Information System (MIS) database. The LEA may access additional support from the DMSELPA psychologist for group home and foster-placed children. The federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act requires schools to enroll new students who are homeless even if their immunization records are missing or unavailable at the time of enrollment. California law requires schools to immediately enroll foster children transferring to their school even if a foster child is unable to produce immunization records normally required for school entry. LEAs, parents, caregivers, foster parents, and group home staff should work with their local county health agencies to assist children in obtaining immunization records and/or immunizations for those children who are identified as needing additional immuniz ations. The law still requires that the school obtain the child’s immunization record and ensure that the foster child has met all immunization requirements (i.e., Senate Bill (SB) 277 requirements, June 2015). LEAs must also track children they admit without proof of immunization so that they can be protected in case of an outbreak of any vaccine-covered disease. California school immunization law allows schools to give students who are transferring in from other states up to 30 days to produce their immunization records. LEAs, parents, caregivers, foster parents, and group home staff should work with their local county health agencies to assist children in obtaining immunization records and/or immunizations for those children who are identified as needing additional immunizations. LEAs must also track children they admit without proof of immunization so that those children can be protected in case of an outbreak of any vaccine-covered disease.
