[quote=Anonymous]It is almost impossible to get a school to pay for a private placement without ever being enrolled in their district. The only time I have seen this is when a child has a private placement funded by one district, and they move to a new district, and the new district decides to keep the child in their current placement. I'm not discouraging you from talking to a lawyer or advocate, but this is an extremely unlikely possibility. Especially for learning disabilities - most students in private placements have complex and severe developmental or behavioral needs. Has your child ever been evaluated by a school district and been eligible for services? Did they make any progress with those services? Those are the questions they'll ask. The first step I'd suggest is requesting a special ed evaluation from DCPS to see if they would even qualify for an IEP.[/quote]
