State regulations require that children with disabilities parentally-placed in a non-public school be served by the public school district within which the non-public school is located.  Westside Community Schools serves 7 non-public schools within District boundaries:

• Christ the King Elementary School
• Creighton Preparatory School
• Mary Our Queen School
• Montessori Children’s Room
• Omaha Memorial School of SDA
• Dual Language Academy
• St. Pius X/St. Leo School

Westside Community School residents with disabilities parentally-placed in a non-public school or an exempt home school are eligible for the provision of a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) from Westside Community Schools.

Non-resident parentally-placed non-public school children with disabilities have two choices:

1. receive equitable services from Westside Community Schools; or
2. request the provision of a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) from the resident public school district.
