Students are placed by state agencies for care, safety, or treatment purposes. The home school district must evaluate and submit the Required Documents through the voucher system per A.R.S. § 15-765(E) and 15-1183(B).
Students are placed by state agencies for care, safety, or treatment purposes and are currently eligible for special education. The home school district must update documentation (if necessary) and submit the Required Documents through the voucher system. The home school district is also responsible for keeping the IEP and evaluation current while the student is at the residential treatment center per A.A.C. R7-2-404(B)(6)(a).
Students are placed by IEP teams and the least restrictive environment (LRE) is listed as a residential placement. In this process, the public education agency (PEA) must contact the appropriate Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) health plan to conduct a behavioral health assessment. Determining the ACC-RBHA will assist the PEA in identifying the appropriate AHCCCS health plan for the geographic service area. For additional information, email ESS Vouchers.
