To ensure timely and meaningful consultation, a school
district, or, if appropriate, the department shall consult with private school
representatives and representatives of parents of parentally-placed private
school children with disabilities during the design and development of special
education and related services for the children regarding the following:
(1) The child find process, including:
(a) How parentally-placed private school
children suspected of having a disability can participate equitably;
and
(b) How parents, teachers, and
private school officials will be informed of the process;
(2) The determination of the proportionate
share of federal funds available to serve parentally-placed private school
children with disabilities under this chapter, including the determination of
how the proportionate share of those funds was calculated;
(3) The consultation process among the
district, private school officials, and representatives of parents of
parentally-placed private school children with disabilities, including how the
process will operate throughout the school year to ensure that
parentally-placed children with disabilities identified through the child find
process can meaningfully participate in special education and related
services;
(4) How, where, and by
whom special education and related services will be provided for
parentally-placed private school children with disabilities, including a
discussion of:
(a) The types of services,
including direct services and alternate service delivery mechanisms;
(b) How special education and related
services will be apportioned if funds are insufficient to serve all
parentally-placed private school children; and
(c) How and when those decisions will be
made; and
(5) How, if
the district disagrees with the views of the private school officials on the
provision of services or the types of services, whether provided directly or
through a contract, the district will provide to the private school officials a
written explanation of the reasons why the district chose not to provide
services directly or through a contract.
