Title: Recommendation: Description: This is a continuing cooperative agreement to provide educational programs to Part C (birth through two years) students with disabilities transitioning to Part B (ages three through four) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The agreement assures continuous intervention for these children. During the 2004-2005 school year, approximately 80 students with disabilities were provided services under this agreement. Eligible students under this cooperative agreement receive services from April 1 through the end of the school year and during an extended school year (ESY) period. There is no FTE generated during this period. The Agency will provide educational and therapy services to disabled students upon their third birthday, as specified in the student's Individual Education Plan (IEP). The District will ensure that students served through the agency's personnel have been placed according to the District's Special Programs and Procedures document. District staff will make on-site visits to ensure compliance with federal and state guidelines. Student progress will be documented on the IEP. The District will reimburse St. Mary's Hospital Early Intervention Program at the Part C (birth through two years) rate for students transitioning to Part B. The service rate per hour differs per service (occupational therapy, speech therapy, etc.). This cooperative agreement is in compliance with the State Board Rule 6A.6-03026 "Special Programs for Prekindergarten Children with Disabilities."
