Least Restrictive Environment A. The parties acknowledge that the policy of least restrictive environment is legally mandated. It is also recognized that the extent to which any student who receives services under the Individuals with disabilities Education Act (IDEA) should participate in regular education programs and services involves consideration of that student's unique needs as determined by an Individual Educational Planning Committee (IEPC). It is further acknowledged and recognized that the general education classroom teachers and the appropriate special education teachers are jointly responsible for implementation of the IEP and for attending to the educational needs of special education students assigned to the teacher's class. Teachers agree to cooperate in the delivery of special education and related services. B. Prior to actual placement of a particular special education student within the classroom of a teacher, such teacher(s) may confer directly with the special education teacher/consultant concerning the student and the plan for integration of said student. C. If any teacher has a reasonable basis to believe that a disabled student's current Individual Education Plan (IEP) is not meeting the student's unique needs as required by law, the teacher will advise his/her principal of that opinion, in writing. D. If delivery of related school health services is necessary to provide a student with a free appropriate public education, as mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, those functions shall be performed by a properly trained individual. Appropriate training will be provided to each teacher prior to the placement of that special education pupil in the teacher's room. This training shall include an explanation of procedure(s) for delivery of the school health service, identification of the appropriate persons to whom performance of that function may be permissibly delegated, the extent and availability of supervision for performance of the procedures and the authority for alteration, modification or termination of the procedures. Bargaining unit members shall be required to perform health services under this provision in an emergency situation only.
