The Board of Education authorizes the Chairperson for the Committee on Special Education to make an immediate, temporary placement of a student with a disability in an appropriate educational program, contingent upon obtaining written parental approval to do so, to prevent such student from being denied the benefit of the program while the Committee on Special Education is in the process of reviewing the referral documents and formulating their recommendation. Temporary placement may not exceed a thirty (30) day period from the date of the student’s initial registration.

Upon completion of the review, a recommendation shall be submitted to the Board from the Committee on Special Education for each case whereby temporary placement will be made.
