SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Financial and legal responsibility for special education services for certain individuals with disabilities placed across jurisdictional lines pursuant to the Comprehensive Services Act. Clarifies that, in any instance in which an individual who is 18 through 21 years of age, inclusive, who is eligible for funding from the state pool and is properly defined pursuant to state education law as a school-aged child with disabilities is placed by a local social services agency that has custody across jurisdictional lines in a group home in the Commonwealth and the individual's individualized education program (IEP), as prepared by the placing jurisdiction, indicates that a private day school placement is the appropriate educational program for such individual, the financial and legal responsibilities for the individual's special education services and IEP shall remain, in compliance with the provisions of federal law, Article 2 (§ 22.1-213 et seq.) of Chapter 13 of Title 22.1, and Board of Education regulations, the responsibility of the placing jurisdiction until the individual reaches the age of 21, inclusive, or is no longer eligible for special education services. The financial and legal responsibilities for such special education services shall remain with the placing jurisdiction, unless the placing jurisdiction has transitioned all appropriate services with the individual.
