Placement Information

Enrollment of Students with Disabilities From Out of State or Country
Please understand that a child must be enrolled in a school within the Lafayette Parish School District in order for services to be provided. Parents/Guardians of prospective students are requested to provide the Department of Special Education with all academic, medical, social, psychological, and special education information, including evaluations and IEPs.

A release of information authorization form from our department should be requested as soon as possible in order to help ensure that we receive the needed information. An initial evaluation by our assessment team is necessary for all students new to the district. The interim IEP process will be discussed with you upon the enrollment of your child.

In addition to the above information, schools will require the following information from you in order to enroll your child:

• Birth certificate
• Current immunization record
• Social security card (if available)
• Most recent utility bill/receipt showing proof of residence
