I don’t think that a student is required to attend a school in the district to be eligible for services.
For example, when my daughter was in elementary school ( private) she was eligible for services, however, she was not assigned to the school closest to her private school, but to one that was closest to our home.
The district determined that she would go to her private school in the morning, then after lunch a taxi would pick her up, take her to the other school about 7 miles away, where she would spend an hour, and then be taken back to the private school again hopefully not having missed more than a couple hours of class two days a week.
We decided it wasn’t worth it, but as your son is older, he probably has more autonomy than my daughter did at 6, I knew she was not going to get in a stinky taxi, she probably would have jumped out.
But as he is probably around 15 years old, I would look at having him transition to a 504, as that is what his accomodations will fall under in the workplace and in college.
