Bill overview
The Empowering Families in Special Education Act aims to strengthen parental involvement in their child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. Currently, schools must include certain experts on IEP teams, but parents aren’t always informed of their right to request these individuals. This bill requires schools to notify parents within a reasonable timeframe before the first IEP meeting about their ability to add these experts to the team, ensuring greater parental input and collaboration.
