BOARD POLICY - 6159
The Board of Education believes it is important to provide a full continuum of educational opportunities to all students with disabilities. Students with disabilities shall receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and, to the maximum extent possible, shall be educated in the least restrictive environment.
For each student with a disability, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) shall be developed which identifies the special education instruction and related services to be provided to the student. The Superintendent or designee shall develop Administrative Regulations regarding the composition of the IEP team, the team's responsibility to develop and regularly review the IEP, the contents of the IEP, and the development, review, and revision processes.
