4. In the event that an exception applies under subsection b. of section 3 of this act, a school district, in consultation with students, parents, community members, and advocacy groups, shall make reasonable efforts to provide a student with a disability the opportunity to participate in existing adapted or unified sports programs facilitated by community organizations, such as the Special Olympics New Jersey. A school district may develop such programs on a school, district, regional, or county basis. The provision of an adapted program or a unified sports program for a student with a disability shall not mitigate the responsibility of the school district to provide a student with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in programs and activities in accordance with section 3 of this act.
