Bill > A06576

This bill amends the education law to establish a presumption that the school identified in a settlement agreement is the student's operative placement for the purposes of pendency (the requirement that a student's educational placement be maintained during the appeals process) in school districts within a city having a population of one million or more. It also requires the local educational agency in such a city to make reasonable efforts to finalize a settlement or inform the parent/guardian of a pending claim for tuition for a school year commencing in 2020 or earlier by January 1, 2023, and any settlements to include a payment schedule. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2022.
