According to Federal Law 34 CFR PART 300.125, the School District of Elmbrook is required to inform you of your rights if you suspect your child of having a disability, which is impacting his/her academic progress. Elmbrook is also required to identify Child Find Activities and the Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information (34 CFR 300.123 and .612).

"All children with disabilities, residing in the State, including children with disabilities, attending private schools, regardless of the severity of their disability, and who are in need of special education and related services, are identified, located, and evaluated…"

If you suspect your child may have a disability, please contact the School District of Elmbrook for further information.

On December 3, 2004, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act was signed into law. As of July 1, 2005, it no longer matters where the child resides, but rather where he/she attends school. The new provisions require Elmbrook to locate and evaluate any child attending a private school within the jurisdiction of the School District of Elmbrook. If the child qualifies for services, Elmbrook could offer a "service plan" however; the resident district would be responsible for offering FAPE if the child were enrolled in the public school.
