Are Children Who Are Voluntarily Placed By Their Parents In Private Schools Or Homeschooled Entitled To Special Education Services in South Carolina?

According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, the IDEA is clear that children enrolled in a private schol by their parents or homeschooled have no individual entitlement to special education and related servies. If children are part of a group agreed upon to receive services, they may receive the services offered by the LEA under a services plan, but there is no requirement for any particular child to receive any services.
