RMA Public Schools is ready, willing and able to identify and serve all children with disabilities residing within its jurisdiction who are in need of special education and related services.
Child Find is a federal mandate under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It requires local education agencies (LEAs), which include public school districts and charter schools, to identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities residing within their jurisdictions who need special education and related services. (34 CFR §300.111—Child find)
A student identified through Child Find is not automatically guaranteed services under IDEA. First, a full and individual initial evaluation (FIIE) of the child must be conducted.
If you suspect that your child may have a disability and or is in need of specially designed instruction, please complete a Request for Evaluation form in its entirety.
