Section LV-509 - Additional Clarification

A. Although throughout Louisiana most exceptional students are served in their neighborhood schools, there are some extenuating circumstances that impact the decision to serve a student in a school other than his or her neighborhood school.

B. The following is provided as an example: A Resource Center for Gifted/Talented is a type of instructional setting, designed or located in one school, that provides instructional services to students who are gifted/talented from two or more schools and in which special education is provided by an individual certified in accordance with Bulletin 746; pupil/teacher ratios established in Bulletin 1706 G/T are used; instructional time is not less than two and one-half hours per week.

C. In addition to the questions on the IEP and Site Determination Form, the following issues must be considered:

1. students should be placed in programs on the basis of their unique needs;

2. placement cannot be based on either a particular local education agency's special education delivery system or on the availability of related services;
