LEA Model Policies and Procedures
Under the regulatory provisions of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B), to be
eligible for funds the Local Educational Agency (LEA) must, among many
things, demonstrate to the satisfaction of the State Education Agency
(SEA) that it meets the conditions in §§300.101 through 300.163, and
§§300.165—300.174. The conditions under §300.220 require the LEAs to
have in effect policies, procedures, and programs that are consistent
with the State policies and procedures established under §§ 300.101
through 300.163, and §§300.165—300.174. The Board approved LEA Policies
and Procedures must be on file with the Department of Education. This
current model of LEA Policies and Procedures is formatted to facilitate
future modifications of the policies and procedures. Modifications to
the IDEA Policies and Procedures may be necessary to ensure compliance
with Part 300, if: (1) The provisions of the IDEA or the implementing
regulations are amended; (2) There is a new interpretation of the IDEA
by Federal or State courts; or (3) There is an official finding of
noncompliance with Federal or State law or regulations.
