Indicator 11: Child Find

Each Local Educational Agency (LEA) is required to locate and identify any student with disabilities within the LEA's geographic boundaries ages 3 through 21. An LEA must have a clear plan for identifying and initiating the process toward evaluation for special education services, regardless of whether the child is to enroll in the district and receive services. The LEA must have a primary point of contact with a clear outline of the process that an LEA uses to review existing data, obtain parent consent (if necessary), evaluate, and determine student's eligibility for special education services. This includes students residing in an LEA's geographic boundaries including private school, home-schooled, move-in, and/or parent/teacher request.

Oklahoma has a State law that requires the initial eligibility process last no more than 45 school days. Administration ensures all staff are aware of the LEA's referral process, protocol to report process, document all due dates, and conduct meetings prior to the 45 school day timeline for compliance.
