TITLE 2. ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION [33000 - 64100]
CHAPTER 4.45. Special Education Programs for Individuals With Exceptional Needs Between the Ages of Three and Five Years, Inclusive
Section 56441.5
Appropriate instructional adult-to-child ratios for group services shall be dependent on the needs of the child. However, because of the unique needs of individuals with exceptional needs between the ages of three and five years, inclusive, who require special education and related services, the number of children per instructional adult shall be less than ratios set forth in subsection (b) of Section 18204 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, as it read on May 1, 1987, for young children in a regular preschool program. Group services provided to individuals with exceptional needs between the ages of three and five years, inclusive, identified as severely disabled pursuant to Section 56030.5 shall not exceed an instructional adult-to-child ratio of one to five.
(Amended by Stats. 1992, Ch. 759, Sec. 35. Effective September 21, 1992.)
