Iowa 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.
