The LEA must obtain a written affirmation signed by the representatives of participating private schools that timely and meaningful consultation has occurred. If the private school representatives do not provide the written affirmation within a reasonable period of time, the LEA must forward the documentation of the consultation process to the State educational agency (SEA).

§300.504(a)

Significant Disproportionality.

Under 20 U.S.C. 1418(d) and 34 C.F.R. §300.646, States are required to collect and examine data to determine if significant disproportionality based on race and ethnicity is occurring in the State and the LEAs of the State with respect to the identification of children as children with disabilities, including identification as children with particular impairments; the placement of children in particular educational settings; and the incidence, duration, and type of disciplinary actions, including suspensions and expulsions. Section 300.647 addresses how States must make a significant disproportionality determination. States must make determinations annually by determining the number of prior years’ data to be analyzed, calculating and comparing the risk ratios, or alternate risk ratios as appropriate, to the thresholds for each LEA in the State in each of the categories described in §300.647 (b)(3) and (4) and for each racial and ethnic group described in §300.647(b)(2) in accordance with §§300.646 and 300.647 to determine if significant disproportionality occurred. States must retain these risk ratios, or alternate risk ratios, and whether the risk ratios triggered a finding of significant disproportionality requiring the provision of comprehensive coordinated early intervening services, for review if requested.

20 U.S.C. 1418(d)

§§300.646 and 300.647

Setting standards for significant disproportionality with advice from stakeholders.

State selected standards for reasonable risk ratio thresholds, minimum cell-sizes, minimum n-sizes, and, if the State uses the “reasonable progress” flexibility, standards for measuring reasonable progress and the number of year’s data that determinations are based upon. These standards “must be based on advice from stakeholders, including State Advisory Panels, as provided under section 612(a)(21)(D)(iii) of [IDEA].”

20 U.S.C. 1412(a)(21)(D)(iii) and 1418(d)
