re: Questions on Central Private School

Another consideration that we have is that my daughter has a very rare medical condition. In our experience, even though public schools are legally required to provide accommodations for our daughter (which by the way are not all that involved), the private schools seem much easier to deal with. So this is another reason we are looking into Central Private.

In the first place, students with disabilities, whose parents (rather than a public agency) enroll them in a private school are not individually entitled to services they would have if they were enrolled in a traditional public school.


Secondly, if it is determined that a parentally placed child qualifies for services provided under a service plan, the student must be provided with transportation from the school/home to a location other than the private school; and from the service location to the private school, or to the child’s home, depending on when the services are provided during the school day.

Yeah, private schools ship special needs services elsewhere but if, to you, that's "much easier to deal with" then knock yourself out. This in one area that private schools can't touch public schools- assuming you have a quality teacher.
