[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 86228, member: 23"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">School Districts, at least in California, are mandated to provide services for all children from age three (in preschool) until they turn 22. </div></div> If you're speaking of IDEA/IEP, that holds true across the USA. It's a Federal law. States must adopt it, or they don't get federal money. For newcomers, the Federal regs can be viewed as minimum requirements. School districts can do more than required if they so choose. There are areas of IDEA that are silent. It's my understanding that in these instances, the States are allowed to create their own rules/regs. For this reason, it's a good practice to be familiar with IDEA and your State special education and disability laws. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">spent most of last year reviewing and updating rather ancient policies in our district. Some of them had last date of review: 1989. </div></div> Special education policies also? I'd find that amazing! But it wouldn't change the fact that changes in the law had been tendered from the US Dept of Ed to State Ed Agencies, and from SEAs to their school districts. Another reason to "trust by verify." For those that are not aware, State law supercedes sd policy and Federal law supercedes state law. [/QUOTE]
