Fannin County Special Education Shared Service Arrangement (FCSSA) does have a system to identify, locate, evaluate, and serve special education students who currently attend a private school located within the jurisdiction of FCSSA. This will include those students with disabilities attending religiously affiliated schools and students who are home schooled. Referral and evaluation will be conducted in the same manner as other students in public schools.
On an ongoing basis, representatives of private schools are invited to a face to face meeting to discuss child find activities and participate in consultation regarding: Child Find, Proportionate share of funds, consultation process, provision of special education and related services, and written explanation by FCSSA.
Private school personnel or the parent may contact the student’s home campus to request an evaluation for special education services. The home campus educational diagnostician, program coordinator and/or speech pathologist will gather the referral information and conduct the evaluation on the home campus in the same manner as other students. The initial ARD committee meeting is held at the home campus to determine eligibility and develop and Individual Educational Plan (IEP) including placement options that FCSSA is willing to provide. Parents will make the choice between public school services and private school services.
