AI Summary

This bill authorizes certain special education students to obtain a high school graduation after the age of 22 years if the education authority and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education deem it to be appropriate and in the best interests of the student and the school. The education authority must submit a proposal to the Department, which must approve the proposal within 30 days if it sufficiently shows that continuing the student's special education is in their best interest and the school's. This provision does not affect a disabled person's eligibility for continuing habilitative services or the development of a transitional plan.
