Private School Proportionate Share of Special Education

Under the IDEA 2004, school districts are responsible for setting aside a portion of their IDEA Part B allocations to provide special education instruction and related services to students who are placed in private schools by their parents.  There is an equitable services set-aside formula that is used.  I project these as the costing of special education services in private schools:
Holy Rosary - $13,302
Immanuel Lutheran - $1,478

Special education funds for private schools could be the special education staffing costs like speech language at Holy Rosary site, curriculum, training, professional development or other.  I will meet with representatives from the private schools on Monday June 20 to discuss these services.  Laura Lundy is also meeting with them to discuss ESEA services.
