Re-establishing an IEP

 Several years ago we felt that the appropriate placement offered by our school district wasn't sufficient for our child to learn well, so we chose a private placement.  Our child would now like to attend our local school and I'm wondering how to go about investigating an IEP again.  I've checked Wrightslaw and it seems that school districts have a responsibility to keep a relationship with children with IEPs who leave the district for a private placement through parental choice.  So, I should just be able to ask about their programs right?  I'm confused because IDEA 2004 seems to give IEP responsibility to the district where the private school resides and not the student's home district.

Thanks!

Some school systems forget or ignore their continuing responsibility to evaluate, review, and propose IEPs for children when they are attending outside placements at their parents' expense;")
