27.13or multiply disabled may be admitted to the Academy for the Blind. For a pupil to be
27.14admitted, two decisions must be made under sections
27.15(1) It must be decided by the individual education planning team that education in
27.16regular or special education classes in the pupil's district of residence cannot be achieved
27.17satisfactorily because of the nature and severity of the deafness or blindness or visual
27.18impairment respectively.
27.19(2) It must be decided by the individual education planning team that the academy
27.20provides the most appropriate placement within the least restrictive alternative for the
27.21pupil.
27.22(b) A deaf or hard-of-hearing child or a visually impaired pupil may be admitted to
27.23get socialization skills or on a short-term basis for skills development.
27.24(c) A parent of a child who resides in Minnesota and who meets the disability criteria
27.25for being deaf or hard of hearing, blind or visually impaired, or multiply disabled may
27.26apply to place the child in the Minnesota State Academies. Academy staff must review
27.27the application to determine whether the Minnesota State Academies is an appropriate
27.28placement for the child. If academy staff determine that the Minnesota State Academies is
27.29an appropriate placement, the staff must invite the individualized education program team
27.30at the child's resident school district to participate in a meeting to arrange a trial placement
27.31of between 60 and 90 calendar days at the Minnesota State Academies. If the child's
27.32parent consents to the trial placement, the Minnesota State Academies is the responsible
27.33serving school district and incurs all due process obligations under law, and the child's
27.34resident school district is responsible for any transportation included in the child's

28.2ends, academy staff must convene an individualized education program team meeting to
28.3determine whether to continue the child's placement at the Minnesota State Academies
28.4or that another placement is appropriate. If the academy members of the individualized
28.5education program team and the parent are unable to agree on the child's placement, the
28.6child's placement reverts to the placement in the child's individualized education program
28.7that immediately preceded the trial placement. If the parent and individualized education
28.8program team agree to continue the placement beyond the trial period, the transportation
28.9and due process responsibilities are the same as those described for the trial placement
