Re: Parentally-Placed Students in Non-public Schools (including Home Study) and Proportionate Share Requirements
To: Parents who have children enrolled in a non-public school (St. Francis Xavier) and/or in a home study program
When: Wednesday, September 29th, 12:00 - 1:00 pm
Via Zoom: https://wsdvt.zoom.us/j/89449566110?pwd=c1lRc0xHUld6eDNINVVkaVdEWnlqUT09
The IDEA requires local education agencies (LEAs) to provide special education services to eligible students who are enrolled by their parents in non-profit non-public schools for the purpose of delivering an elementary and/or secondary education. Each LEA must use a proportionate share of their IDEA funds to provide special education services to non-profit non-public schools and home-schooled students with disabilities. For the purposes of proportionate share requirement, Vermont defines non-public schools as: independent (secular, and non-secular) schools, as well as home study programs.
The meeting will be facilitated by the Office of Support Services. Katherine Blair, Director of Support Services & Early Learning, and Tim Rich, Out-of-District case manager, will meet at 12pm via zoom to review this process and answer any questions you may have.
