May I seek to place a student in another school, when I believe the alternative placement would be better for the student and the students parents do not object?
There may be instances in which an alternative placement in a school other than a homeless students school of origin or current neighborhood school may be beneficial to the student. The student, for example, may be overage and lacking sufficient credits. In that case placement in an alternative education program may be more appropriate for the student. Or the homeless student may require special education services not offered at the school of origin or neighborhood school. In such instances the reason(s) for the alternative placement, as well as the parents/guardians right of appeal, must be explained to the homeless students parents/guardians both orally and in writing.
