Iowa Code r. 281-34.3 - General principles
(1)
Availability. All children who reside in state institutions
and the mental health institute shall be provided appropriate educational
services in accordance with these rules. Special education services to eligible
individuals in institutions will be provided in accordance with 281-Chapter
41.
(2)
Responsibility of
institutions. It is the responsibility of institutions to provide or
make provisions for appropriate educational services to children residing in
these institutions and to ensure appropriate transition of children back to the
school district of residence. The institution may make provisions by
contracting with the AEA, the school district in which the institution is
located, or an approved charter school.
(3)
Basis for funding.
Funding for general education programs at the institutions is determined using
a formula similar to the formula used for the determination of funding for
local school districts while considering the unique setting of the
institutions. The amount of special education funding is determined by
comparing the structure of the general education program at each institution to
the nature and extent of services necessary for students with special education
needs beyond what is provided to all students by the general education
program.
(4)
Responsibility
of the AEA. It is the responsibility of the AEA in which the
institution is located to provide media services, educational services, and
special education support services. The nature and extent of these services
will be comparable to those provided to school districts in the AEA.
