Bill > A10649

This bill requires that before any school scheduled for closure or significant change in its operations can implement these changes, all special education students attending that school must be assigned to new schools. The bill also mandates that the chancellor must verify that these new schools can accommodate the special education students from the affected school. This is intended to ensure a smooth transition for these students, who often require specialized support and services. The changes are being made to the education law, specifically to a section that deals with educational impact statements for school closings or significant changes, and the process for approving such changes.
