When a school district changes its boundaries or school assignments in a way that relocates a special education class — one designed specifically for students with disabilities — this bill would require the district to notify affected parents in writing at least 30 days before the change takes effect. That notice would need to include the reason for the change, the new school's name and location, key dates, contact information for relevant staff, instructions for scheduling an IEP meeting, and information about transportation, and could be delivered by mail, certified mail, email, or hand delivery. Districts would also have to give parents a chance to submit written or verbal comments before finalizing the decision, and would need to document and consider those comments. The notice requirement would not apply when a class relocation results from compliance with separate rules governing special enrollment programs, such as gifted or dual language immersion programs.
