The Individual’s with
Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 2004 (IDEA) were enacted into law as
Public Law Congress. This law includes amendments that do have an effect on
special education services Local Education Agencies (LEA) provide for students
whose parents have enrolled them in home school or private school programs.
Additionally in 2009, the IDEA was provided funded through the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) which provided special education a unique
opportunity to jump start school reform and improvements efforts while also
saving and creating jobs and stimulating the economy.
It is important for Polk
County Schools to determine the current group of eligible private and home
school students so that decisions can be made as to the types and amounts of
special education services that will be provided for this population. Students
in private or home schools are only eligible for a proportionate amount of the
Federal funds provided for the education of students with disabilities. Polk
County Schools has scheduled a meeting to further explain services available
for these children. This meeting will be held at the Central Office on
September 24, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. Private school administrators and parents of
home school children are encouraged to attend this informative meeting on IDEA
funding. Please RSVP Jean Bramlett at 299-0471 if you are planning to attend.
