The IEP team determines placement and changes in placement. Homebound placement may be an appropriate option to consider as well as other options including: alternative schools or contractual arrangements with other districts’ private agencies.

If the removal is a change of placement, the child’s IEP team also determines the appropriate services to be provided to enable the child to continue to participate in the general education curriculum, although in another setting, and to progress toward meeting the goals set out in the child’s IEP. Only providing the missed homework or class work is NOT a provision of special education or related services under IDEA. (IDEA Federal Regulations 300.530(d)).
