Residential Vouchers - Residential Treatment Center Placement

Residential vouchers are for students who are placed in residential treatment centers by state placing agencies and IEP teams. When a state placing agency places a student into a residential treatment center, it is the responsibility of the home school district to determine if the student is eligible or non-eligible for special education per A.R.S. §15-765(E) and A.R.S. §15-1183(B). The vouchers provide funding to the residential treatment centers for the educational services that they provide.
