Policies & Procedures
Our SELPA policies, supported by state and federal mandates, ensure Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) for all students with disabilities. They guide how programs and services are designed and delivered—turning our relentless pursuit of whatever works in the life of a child into action.
Driven by our mission. Grounded in the law. Focused on every child.
The CAHELP Governance Council, with direction from member local education agency governing boards, is responsible for the review and approval of all SELPA policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines. The policies and procedures adopted by the Governance Council under the authority of the adopting local education agency board have the same status and authority as other board policy. Policies governing the Desert Mountain SELPA and Charter SELPA are adopted and included as part of the Local Plan. By participating in the Local Plan, member local education agencies (LEAs) agree to carry out the responsibilities assigned within the plan, and policies and procedures.
