Multidisciplinary IEP team LRE decisions will be made individually for each student. The following criteria will be considered in the decision-making process: a. Based on student’s IEP: The student’s IEP is developed prior to the determination of the location of services and settings. The services and settings needed by each student with a disability must be based on the student’s IEP and unique needs that result from his or her disability, not on the student’s category of disability. b.

A student with a disability is not removed from age-appropriate general education environments solely because of needed accommodations and/or adaptations in the general education curriculum.
