Specialized Education Plans (if applicable to the student). If your child has an IEP or 504, please bring in the most current copy along with your enrollment paperwork. Your student will be enrolled on a determination by the special education team that the student’s needs can be met at American Academy. If the special education team determines that placement at American Academy would constitute a significant change in placement under state and federal law, American Academy will consider a reevaluation and hold an IEP meeting to determine if your student’s needs can be met at American Academy. We must have this information as soon as possible. Families wishing to enroll students with specialized education plans (IEP, ELD, 504 etc.) in a charter school are encouraged to read DCSD Enrollment of Students with Special Needs in Charters to become familiar with the process American Academy uses to evaluate our ability to provide a student with a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). After admission and as part of the charter school enrollment process, American Academy asks parents to disclose if a student has qualified for and is on a specialized education plan. The purpose of this question is to allow us to review the necessary information to be sure American Academy has the services available to provide that student with FAPE. If parents withhold information pertaining to a potential student’s specialized plan, this may affect student enrollment.
