Board Policies & Legal Governance

BP/AR 0430: Comprehensive Local Plan for Special Education

This is the most critical policy. It officially commits the district to participating in the SELPA and mandates that the district provide a full continuum of services.

BP/AR 6159: Individualized Education Program (IEP)

This policy outlines the district’s procedures for developing, implementing, and reviewing IEPs. It ensures that the district is following the specific timelines required by CA Ed Code.

BP/AR 6159.1: Procedural Safeguards and Complaints

This outlines how the district handles disagreements. It links directly to the Uniform Complaint Procedures (UCP) and the process for filing a request for a due process hearing.

BP/AR 6164.4: Identification and Evaluation of Individuals for Special Education

This is the "policy version" of your Child Find notice. It details the district's systematic procedures for screening and referral.

BP/AR 5144.2: Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process (Students with Disabilities)

Discipline is the highest-risk area for litigation. This policy covers Manifestation Determination Reviews (MDRs) and the protections afforded to students with IEPs under IDEA.
