HCS SB 834 -- SPECIAL EDUCATION

Currently, optional resolution conferences are permitted as the
first step of due process in special education disputes.  This
bill removes the resolution conference and makes technical
changes to remove references to it because it is already in
federal law.

Currently, there is a 45-day time line for due process hearings.
The bill removes the 45-day limit and incorporates by reference
the requirements of the federal Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) standards for these hearings.

Evaluations of private school students who may have a disability
under the IDEA will be conducted by the school district in which
the private school is located.
