Bill > SB745

This bill amends Oregon law regarding abbreviated school day programs for students with disabilities, specifically adding a provision for students with terminal illnesses. The bill requires school districts to hold meetings for students on abbreviated school day programs with a frequency based on the student's specific circumstances. For students who have an illness or sickness that can reasonably be expected to result in death within 12 months, the bill mandates that meetings must be held at least once per year after the initial placement review. The law continues to require school districts to provide written information to parents about their rights, review the student's progress, consider alternative placements, and ensure meaningful access to educational services. The bill also maintains existing requirements for school district superintendents to review extended abbreviated school day placements, document efforts to facilitate full educational access, and address any barriers preventing a student from receiving the same instructional hours as other students in their grade. Notably, the bill includes an emergency clause, indicating its immediate importance for public health and safety, and is set to take effect upon passage.
