# §300.134. Consultation.


To ensure timely and meaningful consultation, an LEA, or, if appropriate, an SEA, must consult with private school representatives and representatives of parents of parentally-placed private school children with disabilities during the design and development of special education and related services for the children regarding the following:

- (a) **Child find.** The child find process, including—
  - (1) How parentally-placed private school children suspected of having a disability can participate equitably; and
  - (2) How parents, teachers, and private school officials will be informed of the process.
- (b) **Proportionate share of funds.** The determination of the proportionate share of Federal funds available to serve parentally-placed private school children with disabilities under [§ 300.133(b)](/cfr/34/300.133.md?p=b), including the determination of how the proportionate share of those funds was calculated.
- (c) **Consultation process.** The consultation process among the LEA, private school officials, and representatives of parents of parentally-placed private school children with disabilities, including how the process will operate throughout the school year to ensure that parentally-placed children with disabilities identified through the child find process can meaningfully participate in special education and related services.
- (d) **Provision of special education and related services.** How, where, and by whom special education and related services will be provided for parentally-placed private school children with disabilities, including a discussion of—
  - (1) The types of services, including direct services and alternate service delivery mechanisms; and
  - (2) How special education and related services will be apportioned if funds are insufficient to serve all parentally-placed private school children; and
  - (3) How and when those decisions will be made;
- (e) **Written explanation by LEA regarding services.** How, if the LEA disagrees with the views of the private school officials on the provision of services or the types of services (whether provided directly or through a contract), the LEA will provide to the private school officials a written explanation of the reasons why the LEA chose not to provide services directly or through a contract.
