Section 6A:20-2.4 - Individuals with disabilities

(a) For an individual with a previous individualized education program (IEP) seeking similar services at an adult high school, the principal of the adult high school shall request, with the written consent of the individual, the most recent evaluation and IEP for the individual from the high school of last attendance, provided the evaluation was made within the last three years.

1. The principal shall review the IEP to determine the services required by the plan and the availability of such services at the adult high school.

i. If the IEP can be carried out, it shall serve as the instructional guide for the individual.

ii. If the principal determines the IEP cannot be carried out, the principal shall promptly refer the individual to the nearest adult high school with staff available to offer the special services required in the IEP or to the appropriate county or State agencies or institutions with resources and personnel able to serve the individual's needs.

2. If the evaluation was made more than three years prior to application to the adult high school, the IEP may not serve as a guide for the individual's instructional program at the adult high school. The individual shall be referred to the IEP team for a reevaluation in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:14, Special Education.

(b) For an individual who previously had a 504 plan, the principal of the adult high school shall request, with the written consent of the individual, the most recent 504 plan for the individual from the high school of last attendance, provided the evaluation was made within the last year. The school district shall determine if the 504 plan needs to continue, be discontinued, and/or updated. The principal of an adult high school may request a doctor's note with a rationale and treatment plan to verify the continued need for the 504 plan.

(c) An individual with a disability who does not qualify for special education and related services, pursuant to (a) above and N.J.A.C. 6A:14, and who does not have a previous 504 plan shall be counseled regarding educational options that would lead to a high school diploma.
