Child Find Policy

Upon request, The Charter Institute at Erskine is required to evaluate the child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint and Evaluation Planning team to determine if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in schools within the school district.

A school staff member who reasonably believes a child may be a child with a disability has a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child is in enrolled. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child’s parent that the referral will be made.

Others, including parents, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school or district in which the child is enrolled.

Referrals must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. A referral may be made by contacting Tanesha Lewis, Manager of Special Education, Low Country Connections Academy Charter School, at talewis@lcca.connectionsacademy.org, or by writing her at

1520 Old Trolley Road Suite 200
Summerville, SC 29485.

Right to Know Professional Qualifications of Teachers and Paraprofessionals

LCCA complies with all applicable sections of the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015. A portion of this law provides parents and caretakers with the right to request information about their student's teacher or teachers. Parents and caretakers may request whether a student's teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction, is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived, and is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher. Parents and caretakers may also request whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications. LCCA ensures that all of its teachers hold valid and current teaching certificates issued by the state of South Carolina and teach in the field of discipline for which they are certified. Parents and caretakers who have additional questions or concerns about this item, may reach out to LCCA directly by contacting the main office at 843-695-9035.
