Current rules, s. Current rules do not address EEN pupils that transfer between districts and juvenile correctional or other DHSS operated facilities. Under current rule, school districts and facilities are not required to implement IEPs for these pupils from the sending school or facility, nor are they permitted to formally adopt the M-team evaluation and IEP from the sending school or facility. This results in an interruption of special education and related services for these EEN transfer pupils. The emergency rules require school districts and facilities to implement an EEN transfer pupil's IEP from the sending school or facility.
Current rules require a receiving school district to send such a written notice.
The emergency rules also require a juvenile correctional facility which receives an EEN transfer pupil to send such a written notice so that pupil records may be promptly obtained and services may be uninterrupted. These rules were developed in cooperation with the DHSS to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of services to pupils with EEN in such facilities. When a board receives an EEN transfer pupil, the receiving board shall develop a placement offer to implement the child's IEP from the sending board. The receiving board shall conduct a new M-team evaluation or adopt the one of the sending board and it shall develop a new IEP or adopt the IEP of the sending board. The receiving board may not adopt the M-team evaluation or the IEP of the sending board if it does not meet state and federal requirements.
