				  Illinois public school districts to serve students with disabilities under
				  Section 14-7.02 of the School Code shall be subject to the ISBE approval
				  process described in this Section. The provider shall be a nonpublic special
				  education program designed to serve students with disabilities. In accordance

				  placements will meet the student's needs. ISBE approval shall be specific to
				  individual programs offered by a provider, and the same type of program
				  conducted at two separate facilities shall be treated as two separate programs
				  for purposes of approval. Public school districts shall not use a program not
				  approved in accordance with the requirements of this Part to serve students
				  with disabilities under Section 14-7.02 of the School Code, except for
				  facilities used for emergency and student-specific placements pursuant to 23
				  Ill. Adm. Code
				  226.330(g)
				  or (i).
a) An application for initial ISBE approval
				of educational programs and/or residential programs, presented on forms

				disability categories and ages of students with disabilities for whom it is
				specifically intended;
B) The
				purpose and scope of the provider and its specific program services;

				of the facility's approved programs shall ensure that the State Superintendent
				and each public school district with which it has entered into contracts for
				services receive no less than 40 business days' written notice of that
				intention. A provider shall also notify the State Superintendent in writing, so
				that the notification is reasonably calculated to be received at the State
				Board of Education's office at 100 North First Street, Springfield, Illinois
				62777, within 40 business days after the following:

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
SBE approved programs that serve students with disabilities
				  under Section 14-7.02 of the School Code, whether located in Illinois or out of
				  state, shall be evaluated periodically by the State Board of Education. The
				  evaluation may take place for any reason, with or without prior notice to the
				  provider, and at the sole discretion of the State Board of Education and may
				  involve an on-site review. The evaluation shall result in either retention of
				  approved status or assignment of one of the following statuses:
a) A status of "Approved with Administrative
				Review" shall be assigned when an instance of noncompliance by an approved
				program is first identified during a school year and the State Superintendent
				determines that that noncompliance does not substantially affect the safety of,
				or provision of appropriate education to, the students enrolled. The State
				Superintendent shall outline each area of noncompliance in a written report
				with the corrective actions and timeline required to remedy each area. The
				provider shall have 80 business days to remedy all areas of noncompliance.
1) Every 20 business days after notification
				that it is approved with administrative review (up to the 80 business day
				timeframe for this status), an affected provider shall file with the State
				Superintendent a progress report describing actions taken to correct the
				instances of noncompliance identified.
2) If the State Superintendent determines
				that the provider has corrected the instances of noncompliance within the time
				allotted, the program's "Approved" status shall be restored.
3) If the State Superintendent determines
				that the provider has failed to correct the instances of noncompliance within
				the time allotted, a status of "Pending Further Review" shall be assigned to
				the program. A provider that is subject to the requirements of this Part shall
				not accept a new student from a public school district into a program whose
				status is "Pending Further Review". Upon notification of the "Pending Further
				Review" status, a public school district shall not make new placements into
				those programs and shall identify alternative arrangements for the students, or
				were recurrent instances of minor noncompliance, in the event that the State
				Superintendent notifies the district that the violations are not
				remedied.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 23 - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL RESOURCES › Part 401 - SPECIAL EDUCATION FACILITIES UNDER SECTION 14-7.02 OF THE SCHOOL CODE › Subpart B - PLACEMENT AND EDUCATION OF STUDENTS › Section 401.110 - Use by Public School Districts

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Each public school district shall be responsible for
				  monitoring the performance of each program where its students are placed, to
				  ensure that the implementation of each student's IEP conforms to the applicable
				  requirements of all applicable federal and State laws and regulations,
				  including, but not limited to, 23 Ill. Adm. Code 226 (Special Education).
				  Contracting with a program in accordance with this Part does not relieve the
				  district of the responsibility for ensuring that the student will receive all
				  programming and related services required by the IEP, whether from one source
				  or from multiple sources. In addition, except for emergency and
				  student-specific placements made pursuant to 23 Ill. Adm. Code
				  226.330(g)
				  or (i), no public school district shall place
				  any student in a special education program that is subject to the requirements
				  of this Part, nor shall the provider of any program accept placement of any
				  student under Section 14-7.02 of the School Code, unless all the following
				  conditions have been met:
a) ISBE has
				approved the program for the school year for which placement is
				sought;
b) The Purchased Care
				Review Board has established the allowable costs for the program pursuant to
				Section 14-7.02 of the School Code;
c) The district has made the certification of
				inability to meet the student's needs to the State Superintendent, if required
				pursuant to Section 14-7.02 of the School Code, and the State Superintendent
				has found the district in substantial compliance with Section 14-4.01 of the
				School Code;
d) ISBE has approved
				the program for all of the categories of impairment applicable to the student
				and requiring services as identified in the IEP;
e) ISBE has approved the program for the age
				range that includes the age of the student;
f) The district has determined that
				educational programming and related services specified on the student's IEP
				will be provided to the student. The use of a facility or program in accordance
				with this Part does not relieve the district of the responsibility for ensuring
				that the student will receive all programming and related services required by
				the IEP, whether from one source or from multiple sources; and
g) The district and the provider have entered
				into the contractual agreement called for in 23 Ill. Adm. Code
				226.330.

				Programing Outside the Regular School Year
If programing takes place and is operated at a facility

d)
				Deviations from the allowable class size requirements of subsection (c) or from
				subsection (b) may be requested in writing. A rationale for the request (e.g.,
				a staff member resigns right before the start of the school year and the
				facility can provide documentation that it is actively pursuing filling the
				vacancy but has not yet found a qualified individual for the position) and plan
				for evaluation of the deviations shall be submitted with the request.
