(2) Decisions about the services that will be provided to parentally placed private school students eligible for special education services under WAC 392-172A-04010 through 392-172A-04070 must be made in accordance with subsection (4) of this section and the consultation process. (3) The school district must make the final decisions with respect to the services to be provided to eligible parentally placed private school students eligible for special education services. (4) If a student eligible for special education services is enrolled in a religious or other private school by the student's parents and will receive special education or related services from a school district, the school district must: (a) Initiate and conduct meetings to develop, review, and revise a services plan for the student; and (b) Ensure that a representative of the religious or other private school attends each meeting. If the representative cannot attend, the school district shall use other methods to ensure participation by the religious or other private school, including individual or conference telephone calls.
