Is it each countys responsibility to establish a policy regarding the specific age for children to be referred to the CPSE?
No. Each county and New York City must adhere to the requirements in Public Health and Education Law regarding age-eligibility requirements and the timeframes for notice to the school district, convening of a transition conference, and eligibility determinations. However, counties may develop procedures consistent with State laws and regulations and Department of Health and State Education Department policies.
