IEP/IFSP Meeting
In order to place the student at the Academy, the IEP team shall invite a representative of the Academy to participate in an IEP meeting to discuss enrollment options. The IEP team determines appropriateness of placement at the Academy.
- Parents are afforded due process rights as provided by the IDEA and state law, including the right to a due process hearing to resolve a placement dispute with either the LEA or the Academy.
- At the meeting, or prior to it, the LEA must provide parents with a copy of Academies’ admission procedures.
- If the IEP team determines that the Academy is an appropriate placement, the team will review and revise the IEP to reflect the change of placement. The LEA will complete the necessary IEP paperwork, including the Prior Written Notice and send to parents and the Academy.
- If the IEP team determines that the Academy is not an appropriate placement, the IEP team considers other options for meeting the student's educational needs and provides the Prior Written Notice to the parents.
Follow-up IEP Meeting
The student (if appropriate), parent, LEA or Academy may initiate an IEP meeting at any time, but must meet at least annually. At each IEP meeting, the team reviews goals, services and placement.
