Current Non-Public Agencies

Public schools are required to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to eligible special education students, age 3–21. If a student’s special education needs cannot be met within a given district, the district may contract with an approved Non-Public Agency (NPA) for special education and related services as the least restrictive environment (LRE) for that student as established through the Individual Education Program (IEP) process.
