Each Agency must insure that every child within its jurisdiction between the ages of birth and twenty-two years who is suspected of being handicapped and in need of special education and related services is identified and located. A formal child find effort must be conducted at least once each school year and must include procedures to identify children:

(a) Enrolled in a regular education program operated by the schools of the Agency;

(b) Enrolled in a pre-school or day-care program on or near the reservation; or

(c) Currently out-of-school, including dropouts but excluding children who have graduated or otherwise successfully completed programs. Schools shall conduct child find activities for in-school identification as described in § 45.12.
