§ 12-24-13-5 — Placement of a student with a disability in a state institution for the provision of special education

Indiana § 12-24-13-5

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 24: STATE INSTITUTIONS
• Ch. 13: Liability for Cost of Treatment of Patients in State

Text

(a) Except as provided in section 6 of this
chapter, whenever placement of a student with a disability (as defined
in IC 20-35-1-8) in a state institution is necessary for the provision of
special education for that student, the cost of the student's education
program, nonmedical care, and room and board shall be paid by the
division rather than by the student's parents, guardian, or other
responsible party.
(b) The student's parents, guardian, or other responsible party shall
pay the cost of any transportation not required by the student's
individualized education program (as defined in IC 20-18-2-9). The
school corporation in which the student has legal settlement (as
determined under IC 20-26-11) shall pay the cost of transportation
required by the student's individualized education program under IC 20-35-8-2. However, this section does not relieve an insurer or other
third party from an otherwise valid obligation to provide or pay for the
services provided to the student.
(c) The Indiana state board of education and the divisions shall
jointly establish a procedure and standards for determining when
placement in a state institution is necessary for the provision of special
education for a student.
