district cannot use other IDEA funds to serve IDEA-eligible
students who are parentally placed in private schools.IDEA: Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act Timely and Meaningful Consultation • The school district in which the private school is located must consult with representatives of parents of IDEA-eligible students in the private school and with representatives of the private school. • This must occur during the design and development of special education and related services, regarding: • The Child Find process; • Determination of proportionate share services; • Consultation process; and • Provision of special education and related services.
