In plain language
The bill assigns the burden of proof in special education hearings to local education agencies.
This legislation requires local education agencies to prove that a student's special education program or placement is appropriate during due process hearings. This change shifts the responsibility from parents to schools in these legal situations.
What this means for you
- Workers: Special education workers may need to adapt their practices to ensure compliance with the new burden of proof requirements.
- Families: Families may find it easier to advocate for appropriate special education services, as schools now bear the burden of proof.
