When contracting for evaluations or special education services, a district shall contract with personnel who hold appropriate licenses issued by the Board of Teaching or commissioner of education. If either the board or commissioner does not issue a license for a necessary service, the district shall contract with personnel who are members in good standing of professional organizations that regulate the conduct of its members and set standards for that profession.
A school district may provide direct or indirect special education services by district special education staff to a pupil attending a community-based program. A school district may contract for special education services with a community-based program if the program meets Department of Education rules.
