Bill > HB07076

This bill provides several modifications to education mandates in Connecticut, primarily focusing on special education services, school enrollment, and racial imbalance reporting. The bill changes the age at which special education services terminate from twenty-two to twenty-one years old, allows local school boards more flexibility in early school admission policies, and modifies requirements for transition services for students with special education needs. Additionally, the bill delays the implementation of racial imbalance reporting and planning requirements from 2025 to 2029, giving school districts more time to prepare. The bill also updates provisions related to postsecondary educational programs for students who have received special education services and ensures that children placed by various agencies can continue to receive educational services. These changes aim to provide local and regional boards of education with more flexibility and relief from certain educational mandates while maintaining support for students with special needs.
