(a) This section does not apply to a charter
school.
(b) Each calendar year, a school corporation shall expend part of the
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
nonpublic school students with disabilities included in the school
corporation's count conducted under section 1 of this chapter.
(c) In determining compliance with this section, a school
corporation may include state special education grant expenditures on
the following:
(1) Activities and services for which the school corporation may
expend federal grants under Part B of the federal Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.).
(2) Child find activities, including the cost of initial educational
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.
(f) Notwithstanding the effective date in HEA 1341-2011,
SECTION 3, this section takes effect July 1, 2011 (rather than January
1, 2011).
