Bill > A07154

This bill amends the education law to require that all special education students attending schools scheduled to be closed or undergo a significant change be assigned to new schools prior to the implementation of the closing or change. The bill specifies that the proposed school closing or significant change in school utilization cannot take effect until all special education students in the affected school have been assigned to new schools, and the chancellor has verified that each new school can accommodate the students as well as an additional increase of at least 10% of the total school population.
