Prior to placing a child with a disability in, or referring a child to, a private school or facility, the LEA shall initiate and conduct an ARC meeting to develop an IEP for the child. The LEA shall ensure that a representative of the private school or facility attends the ARC meeting. If the representative cannot attend, the LEA shall use other methods to ensure participation by the private school or facility, including individual or conference telephone calls. 707 KAR 1:320, Section 8(1-2) The coordinator of ECE Placement/designee contacts the program that provides the type of services specified in the IEP regarding the possible referral of the child or youth to the program and makes arrangements for the representative of the program to participate in the ARC meeting. Participation by the representative of the program is provided through attendance at meetings, written communication, or individual or conference telephone calls. In accordance with the written notification of the meeting, the ARC, including a representative of the program, meets to address the referral of the child or youth to that program. The ARC reviews the student’s IEP in collaboration with the representative of the program to determine if the program is able to provide the specified services. If the program is acceptable, it assumes responsibility for providing the special education and related services in the IEP. If applicable, the executive director of ECE completes a contract with the program for approval by the JCPS superintendent and Jefferson County Board of Education (JCBE) and arranges transportation for the student that is consistent with the beginning dates in the IEP. If the program is not appropriate, then the ARC members explore options for other alternative placements. If a child with a disability is placed by the LEA in a private school or facility, the LEA remains responsible for compliance with 707 KAR Chapter 1. An LEA that places a child with a disability in or refers a child to a private school shall ensure that the child: (a) Is provided specially designed instruction and related services in conformance with an IEP that meets the standards of 707 KAR Chapter 1, and at no cost to the parents; (b) Is provided an education that meets the standards of the LEA including general curriculum standards; and (c) Has all the rights of any child with a disability served by the LEA. 707 KAR 1:320, Section 8(4-5) When the child or youth is placed in another program, the coordinator of ECE Placement/designee: A. Makes sure that the ARC membership includes a representative of the program; B. Convenes the ARC meetings that the program requests regarding review and revision of the IEP; C. Arranges participation by the program, including individual or conference telephone calls, if the representatives of the program cannot attend; D. Conducts meetings for reviewing and revising the IEP according to procedures, at least on an annual basis or when requested by the parent or any other ARC member; E. Makes sure that reevaluation procedures are followed at least every three (3) years or as requested by the parent or the program according to procedures in Chapter 3, “Child Find, Evaluation, and Reevaluation”; F. Makes sure that the ARC determines placement on an annual basis; 4 2: FAPE
G. Makes sure that the child or youth and parent are afforded all rights and protections afforded under 707 KAR Chapter 1 (special education regulations); and H. Monitors implementation of the terms specified in the contract or agreement. After a child with a disability is placed in a private school or facility, any meetings to review and revise the child’s IEP may be initiated and conducted by the private school or facility at the discretion of the LEA. 707 KAR 1:320, Section 8(3) The coordinator of ECE Placement/designee will determine who will serve as the ARC chairperson/district representative while the child or youth is placed in the other program. If the receiving program fails to provide the special education and related services that are specified in the IEP, then the coordinator of ECE Placement/designee initiates an ARC meeting. If a private school or facility initiates the meetings, the LEA shall ensure that the parents and LEA staff are involved in any decision about the child’s IEP and agree to any proposed changes in the IEP before those changes are implemented. 707 KAR 1:320, Section 8(4) The district is responsible for ensuring that the student has all of the rights of a child or youth with a disability who is directly served by the district. Any mediation, complaint, or due-process hearing is filed with regard to the district, not the other program. Disputes between the district and other programs are resolved according to the procedures specified in Kentucky’s state plan, which is approved under Part B of IDEA. Other State Agencies Responsible for Education State agencies charged with the responsibility of providing educational services to children with disabilities within their care shall provide those services in accordance with 707 KAR Chapter 1. 707 KAR 1:290, Section 1(3) State agencies that are responsible for providing educational services to children and youth with disabilities are the Cabinet for Families and Children (CFC) and the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). These agencies may arrange with local school districts for the provision of educational services through contracts or Memorandums Of Agreement (MOA), or they may hire staff to provide such services. Payment for Services and Contract Provisions If payment for services under 707 KAR Chapter 1 is to be provided by an agency other than the LEA, the LEA shall ensure the services are provided without delay even if there is a delay in the payment for those services. 707 KAR 1:290, Section 1(4) If the ARC determines that the child or youth requires placement in a special education program operated by another county or by an independent district or in a private school or facility, the district maintains responsibility for the payment of the costs incurred in educating the student. If another program accepts the child or youth recommended by the district ARC, the contract specifies that the receiving program will: 2: FAPE 5
