school corporation's state special education grant on the provision of
special education and related services to parentally placed nonpublic
school students with disabilities. The school corporation shall, at a
minimum, expend an amount from the state special education grant
equal to the amount attributable to the number of parentally placed

corporation may include state special education grant expenditures on
the following:

Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.).

evaluations and reevaluations.
(d) A school corporation shall maintain sufficient and accurate
records to demonstrate compliance with this section.
(e) The state board shall adopt rules to implement this section,
including, but not limited to, annual reporting requirements,
monitoring, and consequences for noncompliance. The consequences
may include requiring expenditure of additional state funds in a
subsequent year if the school fails to expend the requisite amount in a
prior year that occurs after June 30, 2011.
