Who is served?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.

Page 50: EVERYTHING NONPUBLIC 1 May 2, 2011 – New Providence, NJ May 18, 2011 – Westhampton, NJ May 19, 2011 – Somerville, NJ May 23, 2011 – Newton, NJ May 25,

How do I identify the eligible students?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

Page 51: EVERYTHING NONPUBLIC 1 May 2, 2011 – New Providence, NJ May 18, 2011 – Westhampton, NJ May 19, 2011 – Somerville, NJ May 23, 2011 – Newton, NJ May 25,

The children with disabilities identified as ELIGIBLE for special education and related services are reported by the LEA on their October 15th Nonpublic Annual Data Report (ADR) consistent with 34 CFR §300.133(a).

• Beginning with the FY 2003 applications LEAs were required to use the entire proportionate share of IDEA-B funds (Section 611 and section 619) to provide for services to students with disabilities parentally placed in private (nonpublic) schools.

• State (Chapter 193) and local funds may supplement and in no case supplant the proportionate share. 34 CFR §300.133(d)

• In March 2006, OSEP (federal) issued a document entitled “Questions and Answers on Serving Children with Disabilities Placed by their parents at Private Schools”. Provides guidance on the requirements. (Handout)

Consultation Process• Among the LEA, private school representatives and parent

representatives throughout the year (and prior to the completion of the federal entitlement grant(s)). A representative of the district must be present at a meeting if convened by an agency other than the district.

• How, where and by whom special education and related services will be provided is determined through this process. Services that may be provided through the federal share are similar to those provided to public school students with disabilities (not limited as with Chapter 193).

• Continue communication throughout the year to ensure that the agreed upon services are provided.
