Providing parental access to special education evaluation reports.
Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
The law mandates that, after a parent consents, a district must complete an initial evaluation or reevaluation within 35 school days and provide the written report to the parent by that deadline. An eligibility determination meeting must then be held at least five school days after the report is delivered and no later than the 40th school day after consent, unless the parent waives the five‑day wait. The measure aims to give families enough time to review findings and participate meaningfully in decisions about special‑education services.
