See Supreme Court Cases //Burlington School Committee v. Massachusettes Department of Education, Florence County School District Four v. Carter.// IDEA 2004 defines and clarifies when parents can be reimbursed for placing thier child in a private school. Generally speaking, the LEA must find and identify all students in its area with disabilities, conduct evaluations of all children with parental consent and offer services in the public school. Students in private schools, are not required to be serviced by the public school if the students parents place them in the private school. The LEA must conduct annual IEP's of the children who have been identified. ||<  || When the 10 day mark has been reached, the LEA must conduct a manifestation determination hearing to address if the behavior is linked to the disability. At this time, placement is looked at as well as the type of behavior. If a change of placement is needed, it is done at this time, if not, the student may continue in school in their current placement. In either case, after the 10 day mark is reached, the LEA must provided the student with compensatory learning time at no expense to the child or their family. ||<  ||
