2005 North Carolina Code - General Statutes § 115C-146.4. Rules.

§ 115C‑146.4.  Rules.

The State Board of Education shall adopt rules implementing this Part, including rules necessary in order to receive federal funding pursuant to Part B of the Education of the Handicapped Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq.  These rules shall include a provision that, where a local education agency finds that appropriate services are available from other public agencies or private organizations, that local education agency shall, in accordance with G.S. 115C‑149, contract for those services rather than provide them directly. These rules shall also include a provision that, where a local education agency finds that a child is already receiving appropriate services, that local education agency shall continue those services as long as appropriate. (1989 (Reg. Sess., 1990), c. 1003, s. 5.)
