Timeline

How Services Are Provided

Public school districts are responsible for coordinating, funding, and monitoring these services.

All services must be provided within the nonpublic school setting, during the school day, to the greatest extent possible.
Services may be delivered by public school staff or through a third-party provider contracted by the district.
Nonpublic schools work collaboratively with the public school district to identify eligible students and support the implementation of services.

Important Considerations for Nonpublic Schools

Funding is based on per-pupil allocations determined by the state each year.

Nonpublic schools should submit timely referral forms, evaluations, and documentation to ensure services are initiated without delay.
Schools should maintain open communication with the public district and service providers to monitor student progress and ensure compliance.
