Service Managing County

In cases where a nonpublic student is in an out of county living arrangement the MD Online IEP system will be able to grant three groups of users access to view and edit a case:
o Residence County and Residence School users
o Nonpublic Service School users
o Service Managing County users

An example of a student receiving services through a nonpublic school in an out of county living arrangement might be:

• Student’s parents address is in Prince George’s County
• Student lives at a group home in Washington County and attends THE JEFFERSON SCHOOL in Frederick County

While attending the Jefferson School, the Prince George's County student's case is being managed by Washington County. To allow the three agencies to access the student's IEP through the MD Online IEP, changes should be made to the Edit Demographic screen and the LRE and Placement Summary screen of the IEP:

Edit Demographics screen:

LRE and Placement Summary screen:

The option to indicate the Service Managing County will only be available if the Service County and School is a nonpublic school.

Note:  If the Service Managing County is the same as the Resident County, there is no need to edit the field.  The program will default to the Resident County indicated for the student.
