Referral & Application Process

How to refer a student to Minnick

Minnick Schools welcome students who are referred by public school staff to grow and thrive in our classrooms. All students at Minnick Schools have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and are referred by the childs IEP Committee for a private, special education day placement. Heres how the process works:

With the consent of the parents or legal guardians, a staff member from the childs home school division sets up a time for the family and child to tour a Minnick School.

A school division representative completes the Minnick application for enrollment.

Minnick School staff decide if enrollment is appropriate after the family visit to the school and a review of the application packet.

The Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) receives documentation that Minnick is the location of enrollment. The FAPT is responsible for approving and funding the placement through Childrens Services Act (CSA) funds. Families do not pay for the placement.

If the student is enrolled, it is the responsibility of the sending school district to complete all remaining paperwork relevant to the students enrollment.
