PRIVATE SCHOOL CHILD FIND
|
| The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
requires school systems to locate and identify disabled students attending
private schools within their boundaries. If a disabled student is
identified, an individualized service plan (ISP) is developed for the
disabled private school student. Coweta County will spend a
proportionate share of federal funds on such students for appropriate
special education or related services. Home schooled children are
considered in the same category and are also eligible for services under
this provision of the law. Parentally-placed disabled children in
private schools or home schooled disabled students are not entitled to a
free appropriate public education (FAPE), but the district will offer
services which are appropriate for each such student on an individual basis. Parents of any home-schooled or privately schooled disabled student between the ages of three and twenty two may contact the special education department (770-254-2810) if you would like further information. |
