Out of District Students

In the near future, I may be assuming responsibility for students who are currently in out-of-district placements. I am curious about your experience dealing with out-of-district students.

Do you conduct site visits?

How familiar are you with the programs that house your students?

Do you chair the annual reviews or is your PPS director the chair?

I am trying to get a sense of the responsibilities psychologists in other districts have, so I can begin to conceptualize my role. Please advise!
