  47. EVERYTHING NONPUBLICFederal ProgramsIDEA

  48. Children with Disabilities Enrolled by their Parents in Private Schools Office of Special Education Programs Services through IDEA-B 34 CFR §§300.129-144 (Handout)

  49. Who is served? • The reauthorized IDEA-B Act of 2004 contains a provision for participation of children parentally placed in private schools. LEAs must consider the needs of these students in the development of their IDEA applications. This applies to both the Basic (Section 611) ages 3-21 and the Preschool (Section 619) ages 3-5. • The reauthorization (2006) changed the responsibility to the district of location (attending) for the provision of services to eligible children attending private schools within the district borders. This includes out-of-state eligible students.

  50. How do I identify the eligible students? • Not through the 407-1 (this is the intake form for Chapter 192-193) • Each LEA must locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private, including religious, elementary and secondary schools located in the school district. (34 CFR §300.111and §300.201) • The LEA may use an outside public agency to conduct the evaluations (i.e. Evaluations completed through Chapter 193) however: • The cost of the evaluations may not be charged to the proportionate share • Out-of-state evaluation costs • What about Preschool children? • Procedure similar to evaluation of public school students
