Common use of Child Find and Initial Special Education Evaluations Clause in Contracts

Child Find and Initial Special Education Evaluations. The School District and the Charter School acknowledge and agree that in the event the Charter School’s child find and evaluation obligations for students with disabilities are triggered, an agreement may be negotiated which requires, among other things, the payment of the costs associated with obtaining such services from the School District, and that the Charter School agrees that it will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the School District for any loss, expense, liability, damage, claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from the provision of child find and initial special education evaluations. If the Charter School determines that it shall engage the services of the School District for child find and/or special education evaluations, the School District and the Charter School shall schedule a meeting to discuss the appropriate costs, and whether the Charter School requires a waiver of said costs due to financial constraints. If the Charter School requests a waiver of costs, the School District shall have the authority to review the Charter School’s finances and approve/reject the Charter School’s request.
