BILL NUMBER:S7691 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to determinations of appropriate educational programs for certain students in a school district in a city having a population of one million or more PURPOSE: This purpose of this bill is to provide for a special education placement process that will help ensure students with disabilities are placed in the appropriate programs and receive resolution of their impartial due process hearing and tuition reimbursement in a timely manner. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill would require a parent's appeal of a special education placement recommendation by a school district in a city having a population of one million or more to be resolved via settlement, or decision of the impartial hearing officer, or by a state review officer, within any applicable time periods prescribed by federal law. This provision would further state that nothing contained within such provision would be deemed to prohibit any parent or school district from seeking judicial review by any court of competent jurisdiction.
