The commissioner or the committee on special education or committee on preschool special education will direct the parents to make arrangements at a State-operated or State-supported school designated by the commissioner for an evaluation. Such school shall evaluate the student's special educational needs and eligibility for its program.

(i) With respect to an application for admission to a State-operated school, the State- operated school shall notify the parents and commissioner of the results of such evaluation, and recommend appointment if appropriate in accordance with the procedures set forth below:

(a) Upon receipt of an application for admission of a student who has not been recommended for placement by the committee on special education or committee on preschool special education of the school district responsible for the student, the State- operated school shall immediately notify such school district of such application. The State-operated school shall, upon request, make available to such school district responsible for the student all records in its possession relating to the evaluation, placement and educational performance, including the results of any current evaluations, for each student who has applied for admission or is attending the school.

(b) Prior to any meeting of its multidisciplinary team to develop an individualized education program for a student, either upon initial admission to the school or in an annual review, the State-operated school shall notify the school district responsible for the student of such meeting and shall offer the district the opportunity to identify and present to the multidisciplinary team, an alternative placement recommendation for services in the least restrictive environment. In addition, such notice shall advise the school district of its right to appoint additional members to the multidisciplinary team pursuant to clause (c) of this subparagraph.

(c) If the school district responsible for the child elects to appoint additional members to the multidisciplinary team, it shall send written notice of such election to the State- operated school within seven business days of its receipt of notice pursuant to clause (b) of this subparagraph. A school district which fails to send such notice in a timely manner shall be deemed to have waived its right to appoint additional members pursuant to this clause. In addition to the members required for a committee on special education pursuant to Education Law section 4402(1), the State-operated school's multidisciplinary team shall include any additional members appointed by the board of education of the school district responsible for the student, except as provided in section 200.3(f) of this Part.

(d) The multidisciplinary team shall state the reasons for its recommendation, and submit such recommendation to the commissioner for consideration with regard to the appointment or change in placement of the student at the State-operated school. The multidisciplinary team shall consider any alternative placement recommendation presented by the school district responsible for the student, and, if it rejects the alternative, shall include in its recommendation a statement of its reasons for doing so. If the representatives appointed by the school district responsible for the student disagree with the recommendation of the multidisciplinary team, they shall be entitled to prepare a dissenting opinion on the placement recommendation and to submit such opinion to the commissioner for consideration with regard to the appointment or change in placement of the student at the State-operated school.

(e) The evaluation and placement of students in State-operated schools must be completed in accordance with the timelines established for such procedures in section 200.4 of this Part.

(f) In the case of a student not recommended for appointment to a particular State- operated school, or in the event of a change in a recommendation concerning the classification, placement or provision of a free appropriate public education to a student at a State-operated school, the State-operated school shall notify the parent. Such notification shall be comparable to that required by section 200.5(a) of this Part, shall include all reasons for lack of acceptance of the student into the program or for the change in the recommendation, and shall include suggestions for more appropriate placement or program. The parent may request mediation or may, in accordance with section 200.5(i) of this Part, file with the department a written request for a hearing before an impartial hearing officer who will be designated by the department. Such hearing officer shall not be an employee of the department.

Upon receipt of such report, the committee on special education shall conduct a meeting in accordance with the provisions of section 200.4(d)(4) of this Part, provided that appropriate representatives of the State-supported school shall be given the opportunity to attend and participate in the meeting which may be held at the State-supported school. The committee may recommend that the commissioner appoint the student to the State-supported school, or it may recommend a different placement. If the parents disagree with the recommendation of the committee on special education, they may request that the board of education appoint an impartial hearing officer to review that recommendation, and the hearing officer shall consider, together with all other relevant information, the evaluation conducted by the State-supported school. If the committee on special education has recommended a placement other than the State-supported school, and the hearing officer finds that such recommendation is inappropriate and that placement in the State-supported school would be appropriate, the hearing officer may order that the board of education recommend to the commissioner that the student be placed in the State-supported school. The decision of the hearing officer may be appealed in accordance with section 4404 of the Education Law.

(iii) With respect to an application for admission of a preschool student with a disability to a State-supported school, the school shall report the results of its evaluation to the committee on preschool special education. Upon receipt of such report, the committee on preschool special education shall conduct a meeting in accordance with the provisions of section 200.16 of this Part. The committee may recommend that the commissioner appoint the student to the State-supported school, or it may recommend a different placement. If the parents disagree with the recommendation of the committee on preschool special education, they may request mediation and/or submit a request for a due process impartial hearing pursuant to section 200.5(i) and (j) of this Part to review that recommendation. The impartial hearing officer shall consider, together with all other relevant information, the evaluation conducted by the State-supported school. If the committee on preschool special education has recommended a placement other than the State-supported school, and the impartial hearing officer finds that such recommendation is inappropriate and that placement in the State-supported school would be appropriate, the impartial hearing officer may order that the board of education recommend to the commissioner that the student be placed in the State- supported school. The decision of the impartial hearing officer may be appealed in accordance with section 4404 of the Education Law.

Students may be appointed to a school for the deaf or blind on a residential basis when daily transportation between the student's place of residence and such school is not feasible, or when it is established to the satisfaction of the commissioner that such placement is necessary to meet the individual educational needs of the student. Appointments for severely physically disabled students to attend the Henry Viscardi School shall be on a day basis only.

(v) The commissioner, or his or her designee, in determining whether to appoint the student to a State-operated school, shall consider whether the placement at the State- operated school is an appropriate placement in the least restrictive environment, taking into account any alternative placement recommended by the school district responsible for the student.

(3) If the commissioner, or his or her designee, determines that placement in the State- operated school is not in the least restrictive environment or otherwise disagrees with the recommendation of the State-operated school, the commissioner shall state his or her reasons in writing and shall send the recommendation back to the multidisciplinary team of the State- operated school for reconsideration, with notice to the parents and the school district responsible for the student.

(4) If the commissioner declines to make a State appointment of a student who has been recommended for appointment by a State-operated or State-supported school, or if the commissioner seeks to change a student's classification or placement against the recommendation of the State-operated or State-supported school which such student attends, the parent may request mediation or file with the department a written request for a hearing before an impartial hearing officer who will be designated by the department. Such a hearing officer shall not be an employee of the department.
