These procedures serve to clarify the Office of the State Superintendent of Education's (OSSEs) expectations regarding changes to a child's placement that result in a more restrictive environment as outlined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Title 38 of the District of Columbia Official Code and Title 5 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR).

This policy took effect on January 2010.

To submit a request or for questions about a change in placement for a child with a disability to a more restrictive environment outside the LEA, please contact Katie Reda, special programs manager, at (202) 481-3926 or [email protected].
