300.116—Placements.
In determining the educational placement of a child with a disability, including a preschool child with a disability, each public agency must ensure that—
(1)
Is made by a group of persons, including the parents, and other persons knowledgeable about the child, the meaning of the evaluation data, and the placement options; and
(2)
Is made in conformity with the LRE provisions of this subpart, including §§ 300.114 through 300.118;
(c)
Unless the IEP of a child with a disability requires some other arrangement, the child is educated in the school that he or she would attend if nondisabled;
(d)
In selecting the LRE, consideration is given to any potential harmful effect on the child or on the quality of services that he or she needs; and
(e)
A child with a disability is not removed from education in age-appropriate regular classrooms solely because of needed modifications in the general education curriculum.
