Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-41.325 - Private school placements by public agencies
(1)
Developing IEPs.
a. Before a
public agency places a child with a disability in, or refers a child to, a
private school or facility, the agency must initiate and conduct a meeting to
develop an IEP for the child in accordance with these rules.
b. The agency must ensure that a
representative of the private school or facility attends the meeting. If the
representative cannot attend, the agency must use other methods to ensure
participation by the private school or facility, including individual or
conference telephone calls.
(2)
Reviewing and revising
IEPs.
a. After a child with a
disability enters a private school or facility, any meetings to review and
revise the child's IEP may be initiated and conducted by the private school or
facility at the discretion of the public agency.
b. If the private school or facility
initiates and conducts these meetings, the public agency must ensure that the
parents and an agency representative are involved in any decision about the
child's IEP and agree to any proposed changes in the IEP before those changes
are implemented.
(3)
Responsibility. Even if a private school or facility
implements a child's IEP , responsibility for compliance with this chapter
remains with the public agency and the SEA.
