FAPE emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet each child’s unique needs and to prepare each child for further education, employment, and independent living.  \nIDEA-The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. §1400 et. seq.): The federal statute addressing the rights of students with disabilities in public schools and setting forth how federal funds for students with disabilities are disbursed to states. Subject to limited exceptions, IDEA funding allocations from the US Department of Education to each state, and from each state to their districts, are calculated pursuant to a statutory formula for disbursement (i.e., 85% of the funds are distributed according to each state’s relative share of all children ages 3 through 21, and the remaining 15% are awarded according to each state’s relative share of those children living in poverty) .  \nIEP-Individualized Education Program: The document that specifies how a school will provide FAPE toa student who qualifies for special education services. Annual IEPs are drafted by teams that include parents, school personnel, and service providers. By law, annual IEPs each include the following: a description of the student’s present levels of performance, the annual academic goals for the student, the services and supports that will be provided to allow the student to reach those goals and the student’s educational placements.  \nLRE-Least Restrictive Environment: The IDEA requires that students with disabilities are placed in the least restrictive environment in which they can make measured progress on their goals. The presumed LRE is the general education environment with nondisabled peers, and the law requires IEPs to include an explanation for any situation in which students with disabilities are not in that general education setting.  \nLEA-Local Education Agency: The entity (usually a public board of education or local school district)  \nresponsible for providing public education.  \nLEA status-The legal status of a charter school, which is a critical factor in special education since most of the responsibilities under IDEA belong to the entity that is the legal LEA. LEA status usually falls into one of three categories:  \nPart ofan LEA: Wherein a charter school operates as part of an LEA, essentially the same legal structure as the non-charter public schools in that district, and generally has access to services  \nthrough the district central office analogous to traditional public schools (e.g., human resources, transportation, and legal counsel) . Special education, in particular, is generally shared between the school and the district, although the district is ultimately responsible for special education requirements under IDEA such as Child Find, providing a free and appropriate public education (FAPE), placing the student in the least restrictive environment (LRE), developing individual education programs (IEPs), etc. Federal, state, and local dollars generally flow through the district, and in many instances, these schools are provided some centralized services (e.g., transportation, student evaluations, specialized therapies, professional development, and legal couns","cbCaikocy1k97NzT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikocy1k97NzT","pdf",1214810,42,"English","# Global Definitions\n## FAPE-Free and Appropriate Public Education\n## IDEA-The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act\n## IEP-Individualized Education Program\n## LRE-Least Restrictive Environment\n## LEA-Local Education Agency\n## Procedural Safeguards\n## Note about language","[{\"question\":\"What does FAPE require for students with disabilities in public schools?\",\"answer\":\"FAPE guarantees education under federal and state law and emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet each child’s unique needs and prepare them for future education, employment, and independent living.\"},{\"question\":\"How are IDEA funding allocations calculated and distributed?\",\"answer\":\"IDEA funding allocations are calculated using a statutory formula: 85% distributed based on each state’s relative share of children ages 3 through 21, and 15% awarded based on each state’s relative share of children living in poverty.\"},{\"question\":\"What is included in procedural safeguards under IDEA?\",\"answer\":\"Procedural safeguards include rights such as prior written notice, access to student records, parental consent for certain actions, the ability to present and resolve complaints, and the right to “stay put” during the pendency of proceedings.\"}]","Special Education Funding in Charter Schools - 18 City Snapshots - Appendix | PDF",1792059138,106]
