Basic Educational Services

(1) Facilities shall consult with a student’s LEA on how the facility may best provide basic educational services in, at a minimum, English Language Arts and Mathematics for the student. (2) The student’s LEA may provide special education instruction and services to the student directly or through an agreement with the facility. With both options, IDEA requires both general and special education teachers to be “teachers of the child.” At the facility, those positions may be filled by qualified general and special education teachers; however, an LEA representative must continue to fulfill his or her responsibilities on the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) team.
