Bill > HB388

This bill requires school district superintendents to provide comprehensive quarterly reports to their school boards about special education services, with detailed reporting requirements covering multiple aspects of special education programming. The reports, which must be submitted within 45 days of each quarter's end (March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31), will include specific data points such as the number of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and Section 504 plans, student progress, special education personnel counts and costs, contracted service expenses, out-of-district placements, legal dispute information, and total special education revenue. Importantly, the reports must not include any personally identifiable student information, and superintendents have the option to alternatively submit existing reports filed with the state Department of Education that comply with federal education disability laws. Each quarterly report must be publicly posted on the school district's website within 10 days after being presented to the school board. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, aiming to increase transparency and provide detailed insight into special education services and expenditures at the local school district level.
