LAC 28:XLIII.460. Purpose and Jurisdiction

A. Louisiana special schools are designated to provide FAPE for students who have been evaluated and classified as having low-incidence impairments, including but not limited to deafness and/or hearing loss, visual impairments, or orthopedic impairments, that meet the criteria for admission for each such special school. B.1. Each LSS, in recognition of its uniqueness and expertise in serving students with low incidence impairments, is designated as a specialized state-wide resource center and may assist LEAs in the provision of services as requested by LEAs. 2. Services may include, but are not limited to: student assessment; in-service training; curricular materials sharing; consultation; and program design, development, and evaluation. C. Notwithstanding any other provision of these regulations, when a student with a disability is admitted to a LSS and receives the majority of educational services from the BSS, the student shall be under the jurisdiction of the LSS, even if the student receives some services from an LEA.
