Equitable Services and Proportionate Share Requirements Under the IDEA
Implementing IDEA's proportionate share and expenditure calculations, meaningful consultation and equitable service plan requirements can be challenging. In this presentation and filling in for OSEP staff that could not participate, Julie Weatherly will review relevant IDEA requirements and reintroduce and review OSEP's comprehensive 2022 guidance "Questions and Answers on Serving Children with Disabilities Placed by Their Parents in Private Schools." The issue of providing equitable services to parentally placed private school students has recently become a popular issue and districts need to be certain they are compliant with IDEA's provisions, especially those requiring meaningful consultation with private school representatives.
