District Equal Educational Opportunities
No person shall be denied admission to any public school in the School District of Elmbrook or be denied participation in, be denied the benefits of or be discriminated against in any curricular, co-curricular, pupil services, recreational or other program or activity because of the person’s gender, race, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation or physical, mental, emotional or learning disability.
Special Education Referral and Evaluation Procedures
Upon request, the School District of Elmbrook is required to evaluate a child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to determine if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private (including religious) schools, elementary schools and secondary schools located in the school district.
A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker, or administrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child's parent that the referral will be made.
Others, including parents, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides.
Referrals must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. A referral may be made by contacting Tanya Fredrich, Director of Special Education, School District of Elmbrook, at 262-781-3030, or by writing her at 13780 Hope St. Brookfield, WI 53008.
Child Find Activity Notice
According to Federal Law 34 CFR PART 300.125, the School District of Elmbrook is required to inform you of your rights if you suspect your child of having a disability, which is impacting his/her academic progress. Elmbrook is also required to identify Child Find Activities and the Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information (34 CFR 300.123 and .612). "All children with disabilities, residing in the State, including children with disabilities, attending private schools, regardless of the severity of their disability, and who are in need of special education and related services, are identified, located, and evaluated…"
If you suspect your child may have a disability, please contact the School District of Elmbrook for further information.
On December 3, 2004, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act was signed into law. As of July 1, 2005, it no longer matters where the child resides, but rather where he/she attends school. The new provisions require Elmbrook to locate and evaluate any child attending a private school within the jurisdiction of the School District of Elmbrook. If the child qualifies for services, Elmbrook could offer a "service plan" however; the resident district would be responsible for offering FAPE if the child were enrolled in the public school.
