Bill Summary

Relative to the educational needs of students whose education was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 emergency

AI Summary

This bill addresses the educational needs of students whose education was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 emergency. It allows students with individualized education plans (IEPs) who turned 22 during the COVID-19 pandemic and experienced skill or knowledge loss or lack of effective progress due to delays or interruptions in their IEP services to receive compensatory special education services, even though they are over the typical age limit of 22 for such services. This is intended to help these students make up for the educational setbacks they experienced during the pandemic.
