Policy 7613 – The Role of the Board of Education in Implementing a Student’s Individualized Education Program

The Board of Education shall establish at least one Committee on Special Education and one Committee on Preschool Special Education to identify, evaluate and recommend placements of students with disabilities who are in need of special services or programs. The Board shall also establish, as necessary, Subcommittees on Special Education to ensure timely evaluation and placement of students with disabilities.

The Board of Education shall, upon completion of its review of the recommendations of the CSE, CPSE or the designated subcommittee, arrange for the approved services recommended by the Committee. The Board shall notify the parent/guardian of its action in accordance with federal and state law and regulations.

If on review of the recommendation of the CSE, the Board of Education disagrees with such recommendation, the Board will either return the recommendation to the original Committee for further consideration or establish a second Committee to develop a new recommendation for the student within the time frames contained in State law and regulations.

The Board shall provide the student’s parents/guardians with a copy of the statement of its objections or concerns and notice of due process rights in accordance with Section 200.5 of the Regulations of the Commissioner.
