The IDEA requires local education agencies (LEAs) to provide special education services to eligible students who are enrolled by their parents in non-profit non-public schools for the purpose of delivering an elementary and/or secondary education. Each LEA must use a proportionate share of their IDEA funds to provide special education services to non-profit non-public schools and home-schooled students with disabilities. For the purposes of proportionate share requirement, Vermont defines non-public schools as independent (secular, and non-secular) schools, as well as home-study programs.
The meeting will be facilitated by the Office of Support Services. Katherine Blair, Director of Support Services & Early Learning, and Tim Rich, Out-of-District case manager, will meet at 12pm via zoom to review this process and answer any questions you may have.
