FairfaxTownSchool District
Private Health Insurance Policy Pertaining to Special Education Services
Warned: January 16, 2004
Adopted: January 26, 2004
Policy
It is the policy of the FairfaxTownSchool District that a free appropriate public education be provided “without charge” or “without cost.” This does not mean that the school district must use only its own funds for that purpose. The district may use whatever federal, state, local or private sources of support are available to apply for required services. Moreover, nothing in the Part B or Section 504 regulations relieves an insurer or similar third party form an otherwise valid obligation to provide or pay for services to a handicapped child.
Therefore it is the policy of the Fairfax Town School District to request parents to file an insurance claim for the services being sought. The district will withdraw this request, however, if there is an actual cost to the parents. The district may choose to pay the cost to the parent or pay for the services, whichever is less.
