§ 49-10-107. Contracts between LEAs to provide services for children with disabilities.
Nothing in this chapter prevents an LEA from providing special education or related services for children with disabilities by contracting with another LEA to provide services for children with disabilities from the other LEA. The LEA in which the child is enrolled shall continue to be responsible for ensuring that the child receives special education and related services in accordance with the IDEA and nothing in this chapter relieves the LEA from having to comply with the requirements of this chapter. Agreements or contracts made pursuant to subsection (a) must be in writing and may include the provision of special education and related services, payment of reasonable costs of providing special education and related services, or other related costs. Any child provided special education or related services through an agreement made pursuant to subsection (a), and any parent or legal guardian of the child, retain all civil and other rights that the child would have if receiving special education or related services in the LEA where the child is enrolled. Any agreement or contract made pursuant to subsection (a) must contain a provision to that effect.
