District of Columbia · 2025-2026 Regular Session
As introduced, Bill 26-63 would give a disabled child with an individualized education program the right to remain in their initial placement feeder pattern unless there is no program available in their feeder pattern. It would require that an LEA consult with the IEP team of a child with a disability prior to any change in the child’s service location. It would require a written explanation to the parent of a child with a disability before any change in service location. It would require that an LEA provide a written explanation to the special education teacher, the parents and school administrator, describing the additional resources and personnel that will be allocated to a classroom when the student-to-staff ratio exceeds those ratios set by regulation.
