The purpose of this rule development is to comply with the requirement in Section 1003.57(3)(d), Florida Statutes, that the Department of Education adopt by rule procedures for written notification to school districts regarding the placement of students with disabilities in private residential care facilities by the Department of Children and Family Services, the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, and the Agency for Health Care Administration; to incorporate services to children with disabilities, ages birth through two; and to update references and ensure accuracy of content. The effect will be a rule that accurately reflects all current requirements related to contractual arrangements between school districts and nonpublic schools and delineates the obligations of the relevant parties, including school districts and state agencies responsible for placing students with disabilities in private residential care facilities.
