Global Academy @ ASU Prep Family Handbook
Student Support & Services
Special Education Options
Children with disabilities placed in private schools, by their parents/guardians, do not have an individual entitlement to the special education and related services they would receive if they were enrolled in a public school.
There are several different options to obtain special education instruction or therapies for your student:
-
- The local school district of which you are a resident of may provide proportionate share of services. The writing of the IEP and provision of the IEP services are handled by the local school district on an annual basis as addressed in local or state policy.
- The parent or guardian can secure special education instruction and therapies privately or through the use of ESA funds based on local or state policy.
This information may also be obtained from the student’s present or former teachers or therapists. The instructional team can provide students with accommodations listed in an IEP or 504 Accommodation Plan to the best of their abilities provided that it is supplied to Global Academy at ASU Prep and within the school’s capacity.
To maintain privacy of students’ special education records, across school systems and databases, Global Academy at ASU Prep follows protocols consistent with the federal regulations associated with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
Returning to School After Significant Illness, Injury or Surgery
The Global Academy requests that students/families share pertinent information regarding a child who is returning to school after a period of absence so that we can best support our students. We ask that families share information regarding an extended absence due to illness or injury that may require additional support to ensure student success in academic pacing. Students that present documentation with chronic health issues may receive individualized accommodations. All documentation must be sent to the school principal.
