IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR PARENTS OF KIDS ATTENDING PRIVATE SCHOOLS

For parents who place their kids in private schools and want them to get special education services from the public schools, New York State Education Law §3602-c requires that the parent submit a written request for special education services by June 1st. This is a must do! Note that this does not generally apply to situations where parents place their kids in private schools and make a claim for reimbursement from their public school.
