Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-35.5 - Provision of appropriate educational services
(1) A
private facility is to fully cooperate with the area education agency and
school district in which the facility is located to fulfill the area education
agency's responsibilities for child find under 281-Chapter 41, including making
a child available for evaluation and provision of services for which the child
is eligible.
(2) If a child does
not need treatment or security by a private facility in such a time or manner
as is needed to remain on the campus of the private facility, a child with an
individual education plan is to be provided special education instruction and
related services with other nondisabled children within the least restrictive
environment to the maximum extent appropriate.
(3) The area education agency in which the
private facility is located, the school district of residence, and other
appropriate public or private agencies or private individuals involved with the
care or placement of a child will cooperate with the school district in which
the private facility is located in sharing educational information, textbooks,
curricula, assignments, and materials to plan and to provide for the
appropriate education of the child living in a private facility and to ensure
academic credit is granted to the child for instructional time earned upon
discharge from the private residential facility.
(4) A private facility that houses eligible
children who are four years of age by September 15 of the school year will
notify the parents or legal guardians of these eligible children about the
opportunities to access quality preschool programs. Children whose parents are
Iowa residents may access the statewide voluntary preschool program under
281-Chapter 16 at no cost to the parents, and transportation will be provided
by the public school district in which the statewide voluntary preschool
provider is located from the school district's statewide voluntary preschool
programs funding. Children whose parents are not Iowa residents may access the
statewide voluntary preschool programs, if space is available, through a
tuition and transportation agreement with the public school district in which
the statewide voluntary preschool program provider is located.
