Summary
The legislation amends state education law so that before a school is closed or its use is significantly altered, all special‑education students must be placed in new schools and the chancellor must verify those schools can accommodate them. It also requires a detailed impact statement for any proposed closure. The aim is to prevent disruption for special‑ed learners.
