General. A free appropriate public education must be available
to all children residing in the state for the time period permitted by Iowa
Code chapter 256B, including children with disabilities who have been suspended
or expelled from school, as provided for in subrule 41.530(4).

FAPE for children beginning at
the age of three. The state shall ensure that:
a. The obligation to make FAPE available to
each eligible child residing in the state begins no later than the child's
third birthday; and
b. An IEP is in
effect for the child by that date.
c. If a child's third birthday occurs during
the summer, the child's IEP team shall determine the date when services under
the IEP will begin.
(3)
Children advancing from grade to grade. FAPE shall be
available to any individual child with a disability who needs special education
and related services, even though the child has not failed or been retained in
a course or grade and is advancing from grade to grade. The determination that
a child described in the first sentence of this subrule is eligible under this
chapter must be made on an individual basis by the group responsible within the
child's LEA for making eligibility determinations.
