Vermont § 2901 - Success for all students in the general education environment

§ 2901. Success for all students in the general education environment

• (a) Each local school district shall develop and maintain, in consultation with parents,
  a comprehensive system of education that is designed to result, to the extent appropriate,
  in all students succeeding in the general education environment. A comprehensive system
  of education includes a full range of services and accommodations that are needed
  by students in the district. These services could include a separate alternative program
  if the district finds that some of its students could be better served in an environment
  outside the classroom, or if the district finds that separate placement is the best
  way to provide services to a student who is having difficulty learning in a traditional
  school setting for educational, emotional, or personal reasons and thereby impairing
  the ability of the classroom teacher to provide high-quality services to that student
  or to other students. This chapter does not replace or expand entitlements created
  by federal law, nor is it the intent of this chapter to create a higher standard for
  maintaining a student in the general classroom than the standard created in the following
  federal laws: 20 U.S.C. chapter 33, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act; 29 U.S.C. § 794, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and 42 U.S.C. chapter 126, Americans with Disabilities
  Act. (b) [Repealed.] (c) No individual entitlement or private right of action is created by this section. (Added 1989, No. 230 (Adj. Sess.), § 4; amended 1995, No. 157 (Adj. Sess.), § 8; 1999, No. 113 (Adj. Sess.), § 9; 2009, No. 44, § 40, eff. May 21, 2009; 2017, No. 173 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. May 25, 2018.)
