[quote=Anonymous]The new district is obligated to provide the IEP services of move-in students as long as the IEP and eligibility are current. They are also obligated to provide a “like placement” while they do their own evaluation. That said, I just facilitated the placement of a student who had a very robust IEP and the placement was a “non-public” school with lots of support staff. The receiving district interpreted the placement as “like” to an existing program and did not consider not non-public options until it became clear that the existing program was not enough support for the student, which took months of chaos and dysregulation. My advice is to make sure all of the support your student needs is written in the IEP as goals, accommodations or modifications and not just part of the narrative (present levels) or any auxiliary plans like a BSP. Don’t give the new district any room to interpret what your kid needs. Additionally, make sure the new district uses the same eligibility categories—some do not recognize multiple eligibilities.[/quote]
