§ 115C‑140.  Contracts with private service‑providers.

State departments, agencies and divisions and local educational agencies furnishing special education and related services to children with special needs may contract with private special education facilities or service providers to furnish such services as the public providers are unable to furnish. No contract between any public and private service provider shall be effective until it has received the prior written approval of the Board. The Board shall not withhold its approval of the contract unless the private facilities and providers do not meet the Board's standards established pursuant to G.S. 115C‑110(a), (b)(5), and (d)(2). (1977, c. 927, s. 1; 1981, c. 423, s. 1.)
