According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, the answer is "no". LEAs are required to provide special education and related services, but not to provide classes in the general curriculum for the private school child at the LEA. For example, if parents request that in addition to receiving physical therapy at the LEA, their child also be alowed to take physics, the LEA is not obligated to allow the child to take physics. Instead, the child would be required to enroll in the LEA as a full-time student in order to receive general educaiton services.Friday, October 16, 2009
