Agenda Item Summary:
|
Under the provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA, 2004), its federal implementing regulations, and the Regulations Governing Special Education Programs for Students with Disabilities in Virginia (effective July 7, 2009), local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to submit a Local Special Education Annual Plan (Annual Plan) for providing special education and related services to children with disabilities. The FY 2022 Annual Plan serves as the formal agreement between the local school board and the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) for implementing federal and state laws and regulations governing these services. Accordingly, the disbursement of state and federal funds appropriated for the education of children with disabilities is contingent upon the approval of this plan.
|
|
Background:
|
The application for the 2023-2024 school year delineates the required set aside amount for children with disabilities placed by their parents in private schools. The funding for this group of students is based on a formula that considers the total number of students with disabilities in the public schools and the total number of students with disabilities who are parentally placed in private elementary and secondary schools located in Alexandria.
|
|
Recommendation:
|
The Interim Superintendent recommends that the School Board approve the 2023-2024 Annual Plan for submission to the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE).
