Section XLIII-405 - Transition/Day Programs

A. SSD may enter into interagency agreements with other State agencies which operate transition programs or day programs to provide appropriate educational services to students. This includes private providers of alternative educational services, as described in R.S. 17:100.1, in both residential and transition/day programs.

1. Transition/day programs shall contain the following elements:

a. all transition/day programs shall be established by the facility in a detailed, written plan approved by the state director;

b. students in a transition/day program who attend school in their regular LEA may not be placed in the SSD educational program for brief periods of time such as holidays and other periods during which the student's regular LEA is closed; exceptions may be made for unique circumstances on a case-by-case basis with prior written consent of the SSD state director;

c. the facility shall provide the necessary supports, including crisis management and health-related services, to SSD students who are in the transition/day program; and

d. only students who are also receiving other services from the facility may enroll in an SSD program at the facility; educational services may not be the only service the student receives in the transition/day program.

B. The provision of educational services to students in a transition or day program is subject to adequate SSD funding availability. If funds are unavailable to SSD, the student's LEA of current residence assumes jurisdiction for the student and is responsible for providing FAPE.
