SERVICES TO CHILDREN ENROLLED IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS BY PARENTS

 

 

The Board of Education of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District recognizes that parents may choose to enroll their child(ren) in a private school rather than participate in a public school educational program.  Pursuant to the regulations set forth in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (1997), the board authorizes the superintendent to provide special education services to eligible disabled students, ages 3-22 enrolled by their parents in a private school.

 

The superintendent shall establish procedures for the provision of services to parentally placed private school students including child find, assessment, offer of a free appropriate public education (FAPE) and the proportionate expenditure of federal funds for special education services should the child remain in a private school setting.
