with an IEP, provided that DoDDS, its constituent elements, or its personnel are not accountable if
a child does not achieve the growth projected in the IEP.

child whom DoDDS places in a non-DoDDS school or other facility.
D.
PLACEMENT PROCEDURES AND LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT
1. The placement of a child in any special education program by DoDDS shall be effected
only pursuant to an IEP after a determination, under this Instruction, has been made that a child is
handicapped and needs special education and related services.
2. The appropriate CSC shall meet as soon as is practicable following the development of a
handicapped child's IEP to identify the personnel who will provide the child with special education
and related services pursuant to the IEP.
3. A placement decision may not be implemented without the consent of a parent of the
child, except as otherwise provided herein.
4. The placement decision must be designed to educate a handicapped child in the least
restrictive environment so that the child is educated to the maximum extent appropriate with
children who are not handicapped. Special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of
handicapped children from the regular educational environment shall occur only when the nature or
severity of the handicap is such that the child cannot be educated satisfactorily in regular classes
with the use of supplementary aids and services.
5. Each handicapped child's educational placement shall be:
a. Determined at least annually by the appropriate CSC.
b. Based on the child's IEP.
c. Located as close as possible to the residence of the parent who is sponsoring the child
for attendance in a DoDDS school.
d. Designed to assign the child to the school the child would attend if he or she were not
handicapped, unless the IEP requires some other arrangement.
