Referral Process
Students may be referred to MRA by schools, agencies, parents or guardians. However, the placement decision must be made by a Planning and Placement Team (PPT).
The steps in the referral process are:
* Pertinent school records sent to MRA by the Local Education Agency (LEA).
* A parent, student and a school representative visit MRA for a tour and intake conference.
* The Local Education Agency (LEA), MRA, and the student's family mutually agree on the placement.
Students are enrolled on a space-available basis. There are 48 Manchester student places and 20 spaces for out-of-district students.
