- Section I: Instruction
IHBA - INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAMS
It shall be the policy of RSU 21 to maintain a complete individualized education program (IEP) for each student who has been identified with a disability and in need of special education services under state and federal special education laws, and who is in attendance at M.S.A.D. No. 71’s public schools. RSU 21 shall develop these IEP’s in a manner consistent with the procedural requirements of state and federal special education laws.
Student IEP’s shall be reasonably calculated to provide the identified student with educational benefits in the least restrictive educational environment. RSU 21 shall ensure that such IEP’s are in effect within 30 days of when a student is first identified as in need of special education services, and in effect no later than the beginning of each school year for subsequent IEP’s. All IEP’s must be reviewed at least annually, as prescribed by state and federal special education laws.
