Bill > HB383

This bill aims to ensure that children of military families receive continuous educational and support services when they relocate. Specifically, it mandates that school districts must take steps to provide comparable services for children with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 plan, which are legal documents outlining special education or accommodations for students with disabilities, before the child arrives at their new school. Additionally, it requires a "point of entry," which is the initial contact point for services for young children with disabilities, to ensure that children with an Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP), a similar plan for infants and toddlers, receive comparable services before they move to a new location. The bill also clarifies that these services should be provided without requiring parents to appear in person for enrollment or meetings whenever possible, and that records and evaluations should be transferred promptly to avoid delays in care.
