Transfer Children Sample Clauses
Transfer Children. 1. If a child receiving special education transfers into the School District, the School District will ensure FAPE in consultation with the Parent(s) by providing special education and related services in conformity with an IEP.
a. For transfers from within Illinois, the School District shall enroll the child and provide FAPE, including education services comparable to those in the IEP from the former School District, until the School District either: (1) adopts the IEP from the former School District, or (2) develops, adopts and implements a new IEP.
b. For transfers from another state, the School District shall enroll the child and provide FAPE, including services comparable to those in the IEP from the former School District, until the School District: (1) conducts an evaluation, if determined to be necessary, and (2) develops, adopts and implements a new IEP, if appropriate.
c. If the School District does not adopt the former IEP and plans to develop a new one, within 10 days after the date of the child’s enrollment the School District must provide written notice to the Parent(s), including the proposed date of the IEP meeting. While the new IEP is under development, the School District shall implement services comparable to those described in the IEP from the former district.
2. The School District must take reasonable steps to obtain the child’s records, including the IEP, from the former School District. If the School District does not receive a copy of the transfer child’s IEP or verbal or written confirmation of requirements of the IEP from the former School District, the child will be enrolled and served in the setting that the School District believes will meet the child’s needs until the current IEP is obtained or a new IEP is developed.
