Students in Private School

If a child is parentally placed in a private school, the local education agency (LEA) where the private school is located is responsible for conducting child find.  The child find activities and the evaluation process for parentally-placed private school children must be similar to activities undertaken for child find for children in public schools.  Additionally, the child find process must be completed by the LEA in a time period comparable to that for other students attending public schools.  This means that LEAs may not delay conducting child find for parentally-placed private school children until after child find for public school children.
