that an IEP which offers ECSE Services (340.1755) is recommending an inclusive placement, therefore, these children may receive their ECSE Services in a GSRP program and be considered at the highest level of need for GSRP. It is important to note that an IEP which offers 340.1755 does not guarantee placement into GSRP and a school district would need to be prepared to provide the ECSE services in another preschool program if GSRP was already full. If the IEP team recommends speech services only (340.1745), this is not indicative of needing an ECSE teacher to supervise the content of the instruction, thereby, indicating that the child would not require an inclusive preschool program as a component of FAPE. If an IEP team identifies an ECSE Program (340.1754) that means that the team believes the child requires specialized instruction for the bulk of his or her day. This would also not be a GSRP placement. Districts need to be prudent in considering how to utilize GSRP placements. 3. Preschool children, including those in GSRP, are to receive Child Find and Special Education Services in their district of residence. Some children, however, attend GSRP across district or even across county line. Recommendations: Oakland County children who have IEPS and attend GSRP in another Oakland County district should receive services from the district where the GSRP is located. Children who attend GSRP in districts where they do not reside and are recommended for Special Education evaluations should be evaluated in their home districts. If Oakland County resident children receive IEPs during the course of GSRP, they should be served by the program they are attending if it is school based. If they are in a community based program, the resident school district should provide services. If non Oakland County resident children receive IEPS during the course of GSRP, they should be treated as K-12 students who receive IEPs while attending Oakland County schools. The school can purchase services such as VI and HI from Oakland Schools. Children with high incidence disabilities may need to be dis-enrolled and returned to the county of residence.
