To facilitate the transition for a child with a disability who transfers from one LEA to another:

• The new LEA in which the child enrolls must take reasonable steps to promptly obtain the child's record from the previous LEA in which the child was enrolled, including:

• The individualized education program (IEP) and supporting documents; and

• Any other records relating to the provision of special education or related services to the child;

• The previous LEA in which the child was enrolled must take reasonable steps to:

• Promptly respond to such request from the new LEA by furnishing the new LEA with a copy of the child's records, including the child's special education records:

• Not later than the 30th calendar day after the child was enrolled in the new LEA; or 

• For children in substitute care, not later than the 14th day after the date the child begins enrollment at the school.

WHEN AN INITIAL EVALUATION IS PENDING

If a child enrolls in the new LEA after the 60-day timeframe for an initial evaluation of the child has begun and before a determination by the child's previous LEA as to whether the child is a child with a disability, the 60-day EVALUATION PROCEDURES timeframe does not apply to the new LEA if:

• The LEA is making sufficient progress to ensure a prompt completion of the evaluation;

• The parent and LEA agree to a specific time when the evaluation will be completed; and

• The initial evaluation is completed not later than the 60th calendar day following the date on which the new LEA receives CONSENT FOR INITIAL EVALUATION.
