Special education compliance; revise provisions relating to school attendance, absenteeism and disciplinary issues.

Summary

The bill would make every school attendance officer complete annual training on IDEA and Section 504, and would revise how schools label and discipline students who are habitually disruptive when they receive special‑education services. It also excuses absences caused by a disability and directs the state board to adopt evidence‑based strategies to reduce chronic absenteeism. The changes aim to protect the rights of students with disabilities and ensure schools follow federal law.
