(2)The responsibility of the local educational agency under paragraph
(1)shall be in force until alternative arrangements for providing the individual with exceptional needs with continuous access to the assistive technology device, or to a comparable device, can be made or until two months have elapsed from the date that the individual ceased to be enrolled in that local educational agency, whichever occurs first.
(c)For purposes of this section, in addition to the definition of “local educational agency,” in this article, “local educational agency” also includes a charter school as established pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 47605) of Part 26.8.
