(a) For students with disabilities, school districts
shall utilize the state's criteria for identification of emergent
bilingual students as described in §89.1226(f) of this title
(relating to Testing and Classification of Students) and shall establish
placement procedures that ensure that the placement recommendation
by the language proficiency assessment committee (LPAC), in conjunction
with the admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee, in a bilingual
education or English as a second language program is not refused based
on the student's disabling condition.
(b) LPAC members shall meet in conjunction with ARD
committee members to review progress and provide recommendations regarding
the educational needs of each emergent bilingual student who also
qualifies for services in the school district's special education
program.
