SCS/SB 874 - The act asserts that when school districts develop an individualized education program for a student who has received services pursuant to Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the district shall consider giving preference to continuing services with that student's Part C provider, unless this would result in a cost which exceeds the average cost per student in early childhood special education for the district responsible for educating the student.

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education may develop guidelines to govern the provisions of act.
