If a student is currently enrolled in Private School and is being referred for IEP:

Staff will be having an Initial IEP and offer the IEP to the family at the school the student would attend were they attending a public school.

Please check with your SELPA on what ISP your district can offer if the IEP is not accepted.

See HERE for PPT (padlet link) from CDE on guidance on private school procedures.

See HERE for PPT (padlet link) from CDE on guidance on how to obtain an SSID to report the referral if the student does not have an SSID already.

Basically, we enroll in CALPADS as of the parental consent date, as this will allow your district to report the results of the initial IEP regardless of the outcome.  If the student ends up never enrolling, we simply start and stop the enrollment as of the parental consent date.

TIPS:

Just because a student is 'enrolled' in private school in your district doesn't mean we need a 'Private School' enrollment in CALPADS.

Best practice of Private School Enrollment in CALPADS is to only enroll in the private school group as of the plan effective date once an agreed upon ISP has been signed.
