Common use of The District’s Responsibilities Clause in Contracts

The District’s Responsibilities. The District, as the Local Education Agency (LEA), is responsible for ensuring that the requirements of federal special education law and regulations are met in each of the Schools in the Network, and that special education and related services are provided in the same manner that the District provides such services in other schools in the District. Accordingly, the District will provide forms, documents, and procedures. Regardless whether the District or the Network provides special services staff, the District will oversee and monitor all referral processes, evaluations, reevaluations, eligibility determinations, placement decisions, and development and implementation of IEPs for students with disabilities. If the Network chooses to employ its own special service providers, the Network will ensure that there is adequate staff at each School to meet the services identified for students with disabilities based on student-staff ratios. Additionally, the District will oversee procedural compliance with federal and state law and regulations concerning the education of students with disabilities. If the Network and the District disagree as to the correct interpretation or application of a statute or regulation concerning the education of students with disabilities at any or all Schools in the Network, the District’s position will control. The District will provide training, consultation and advice to the Network and its Schools as needed with regard to Section 504 compliance, including legal interpretations, recommendations for intervention strategies, and assistance in conducting Section 504 Plan and review meetings.
