Summary

The bill adds a new notification rule so that when a district notifies parents of a child who is deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired, or deaf‑blind, it must also include information about attending the California School for the Deaf or the California School for the Blind. Starting in the 2027‑28 school year, local education agencies must give this information during the IEP process, and the state education department must supply the materials by July 1 2027.
