[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son currently has a non-public placement in DC. I am considering a move to Fairfax County to get my other son into a better school system and be closer to work. I understand that we'll have to go through the same "process" again, but are these systems inclined towards taking away a non-public placement that is working and that another system approved? Yes, I will float this past my attorney, but wanted to see if anyone here has actually done it or knows what to expect. TIA!  [/quote]

The new school district is required to provide "comparable services." So if the IEP states private separate day, then you child should most likely be able to stay in that private separate day, especially if it is working. If Fairfax County has a specific program that can meet your child's needs and can provide FAPE they might try to have your child attend school within the county. Does that help?[/quote]

IEPs don't typically have that level of detail. They just say that all hours are outside gen ed, but that doesn't obligate a new district to fund a nonpublic over its self contained program.[/quote]
