Are children with disabilities enrolled by their parents in private/charter schools entitled to the benefit of LRE requirements?
The requirements to educate individuals with disabilities with nondisabled peers also applies to individuals in public and private institutions, charter schools, or other care facilities. Since the requirement specifies that each LEA and charter school shall locate, identify, and evaluate all private school children with disabilities (34 CFR ยง300.451), placement decisions must be made on an individual basis ensuring LRE.
