Yes. School of origin rights apply to non-public school placements.[1]
If an NPS is violating a student’s school of origin rights, you can file a UCP complaint or CDE Compliance complaint against the school district and NPS. See Chapter 6, Information on Due Process/Compliance Procedures for more information. The student’s dependency attorney (minor’s counsel) may also join the school district and NPS in the child’s dependency proceedings and ask the juvenile court to order compliance with school of origin protections.[2]
