  7. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) • IDEA requires that children with disabilities, to the maximum extent possible, are educated with children who are not disabled. • Includes children who are publically placed: • in public or private institutions • in psychiatric care • in group homes • in state-operated hospitals in Georgia

  8. Determining LRE • IEP Team determines the LRE, including • Services and supports needed for each eligible student with a disability according to the GaDOE Special Education Rules. • Placement must be as close as possible to the child’s home. • Be reconsidered at least annually by the IEP Team.

  9. Determining LRE • IEP Team must consider • any harmful effects on the child or on the quality of services needed when selecting the LRE for each student. • Systems are to ensure • that the full continuum of services are considered. • that alternative placements and services needed are available to meet the special education and related services needs of the students with disabilities.

  10. Least Restrictive Environment • IEP Team may not make placement decisions based only on the: • Category of disability • Severity of the disability • Placement options currently available • Availability of educational or related services • Space and staff available • Administrative convenience

  11. Georgia Performance Standards Document Current Level of Performance Develop Student IEP Objectives How can the objective, or related set of objectives, be taught in the general education classroom? Personnel Supports Accommodations Modifications Settings For those objectives which cannot be taught in the general education setting, in which special education and community setting can they be taught? What additional settings or activities will provide opportunities for interaction with nondisabled peers? Evaluation of Student Performance Objectives

  12. Determining LRE • Placement outside of the general classroom can be considered • Only when the IEP Team has evidence that even with the use of supplementary aids and services, education in the general classroom will not be successful

  13. Determining LRE • If the student is placed in a setting other than general education for a portion of the school day, high expectations for achievement in the GPS and a plan for moving back into less restrictive settings should continue.

  14. Least Restrictive EnvironmentPreschool Age SWD • General early childhood programs in the public school or in the community: • Head Start • Bright from the Start Pre-Kindergarten • Public or private child care/day care • Preschool programs • Placement in a separate special education program housed in the public school or residential facility, if necessary

  15. Least Restrictive EnvironmentPreschool Age SWD • Services in the home as the natural environment for a young child • Services at the office of a service provider • Any combination of the above based on a child’s IEP

  22. Placement and Delivery Options Collaboration: • A special education teacher works with identified students with disabilities and the general education teacher within the general education classroom (less than a full segment daily).

  28. Least Restrictive Environment • Teachers and administrators should be trained in the “Decision Making Model” for determining LRE based on GaDOE State Special Education Rules and IDEA. • LRE • Is determined at least annually • May be reconsidered at any time by the IEP Team depending on the individual needs of the child.

  29. Discipline for SWDs • Reminders • No suspensions beyond 10 cummulativedays • Case managers should be monitoring OSS weekly on students having behavioral issues and monthly for all students • PEC Manual explicitly defines what needs to occur upon the first day of suspension through any additional suspensions • District is required to provide services to students who are expelled.
