DESCRIPTION
This proposal requires that a student's individualized education program (IEP) committee give due consideration to maintaining a private placement option for the remainder of the school term when a child reaches the age of three during a school term. Further, the proposal removes language from the section which specifies that preference shall be given to the continuation of services with the student's private provider unless the cost exceeds the average per student cost of early childhood education in the district.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
