Notes of Decisions Cover Pages
The school district failed to provide an exceptional student with a free appropriate public education (FAPE), where its individualized education program (IEP) was procedurally deficient because a certified school psychologist was not part of the Multiple Disciplinary Team, the required cover pages of the IEP which detail the type of program being offered, the related services, the duration of the IEP, various services that needed to be considered and reviewed and the like were noticeably absent, no Notice of Recommended Assignment was ever proffered by the district to the family, and there is no evidence in the record that the district ever attempted to go to the student’s school in order to develop further the Comprehensive Evaluation Report (CER) through the use of its own psychologist and other staff, and where the CER and the IEP devised by the district also failed to meet substantive requirements because the degree of need in the CER were sketchy and thin, the IEP was vague, failed to address a means of handling the student’s emotional and behavioral disorders and contained immeasurable standards. Cumberland Valley School District v. Lynn T., 725 A.2d 215 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1999); aff’d sub nom. in re Residence Hearing, 744 A.2d 1272 (Pa. 2000).
Overpayments
As the approved private school failed to establish a basis for an allocation of allowable costs alternative to the equivalent full-time student reimbursement entitlement formula which the auditor applied in concluding that the Department of Education has overpaid the school, the Court properly determined that the school must reimburse the Department for overpayments which the school received for tuition and maintenance of approved special education pupils enrolled at the school. Community Country Day School v. Department of Education, 641 A.2d 1282 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1994).
Parent Participation
A meeting at the parent’s initiative with the district’s coordinator of education and a later meeting with a teacher and vice principal did not satisfy the requirement that an Individualized Education Program (IEP) ‘‘team’’ met to determine educational placement. The parent was denied input into the IEP since the plan was presented as a finished product. Big Beaver Falls Area School District v. Jackson, 615 A.2d 910 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1992); 624 A.2d 806 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993); appeal denied 636 A.2d 635 (Pa. 1993).
