Cooperative agreements are entered into by the Department of Rehabilitation Services and the Local Educational Agency (LEA), private school, charter school, home school organization and Career and Technology Education Center to facilitate cooperative working relationships leading to positive employment outcomes for eligible students with disabilities, including those served through an individualized education program (IEP), Section 504 Plan, or those with other documented disabilities. Each agreement sets the framework for a comprehensive and coordinated effort to identify and serve all students with physical and/or mental disabilities enrolled in secondary school or attending CareerTech during secondary school or being home schooled who are jointly eligible. Continuous and uninterrupted services are provided through common areas without duplication or encroachment of the separate programs. Staff should refer to the cooperative agreement in addition to the policy contained in this Part.
