Ditto. We don't have Connections Academy in our state but we have a similar setup through a different provider (similar and different). Since Connections states they are operating as a public charter school, they are collecting state funds for educating each student and they are in turn required to identify students and provide services under IDEA.

I'm also going to pm you smile
