LRE / Placement in special education is the last consideration of the IEP team. Placement is described as the amount of time spent in general education. This is described as a percentage. The placement page in IEPs will be generated by the services described in the services page. You must answer each question “yes” or provide a justification for the “no” response. There will likely be at least one “no” for each student.
The LRE will be automatically calculated from the minutes listed in the summary of services. It is IMPERATIVE that the minutes in and out of general education on the summary of services are accurate as this is how placement is calculated in the LRE section.
If the IEP team considers a placement outside of the student’s home area school, contact a Program Coordinator.
