4 AAC 52.150. Placement

(a) In determining the educational placement of a child with a disability, each district shall ensure that the child's placement is made in conformance with the requirements of 34 C.F.R. 300.552, as revised as of May 11, 1999 and adopted by reference.

(b) If a district determines that the student's IEP cannot reasonably be implemented within the district, any out-of-district placement shall be determined in the following priority order:

(1) first, to the in-state placement option that provides the most practicable access from the district;

(2) second, to whatever in-state placement is available; and

(3) out-of-state placement only if no in-state placement is available that can provide a FAPE for the child.

(c) A district must obtain consent of a child's parent before a child may be transferred by the district to a school outside of the district in which the child resides.
