- (a) Contractors are required to set aside a percentage of their funded enrollment for enrolling children with disabilities pursuant to Education Code section 8208.
(b) Children can only be enrolled under the set aside if:
- (1) The child is a child with disabilities as defined in section 17700; or
- (2) The child is three-years old and had an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), and is waiting until the determination is made as to whether the child is eligible for an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
- (c) Contractors must adopt a written policy to inform families of the family's obligation to provide up-to-date copies of the IFSP or the IEP at least annually, as well as inform the contractor of any changes to the status of the IFSP or the IEP. If a current IFSP or IEP is not on file, the child does not count toward meeting the set aside requirement and the contractor will not receive the adjustment factor.
