This bill mandates that public schools provide parents or guardians of special education students with a written statement detailing the items to be discussed at the annual Individualized Education Program (IEP) team meeting at least two business days in advance. The statement must be sent via regular mail and, if available, by email. Additionally, the statement should include the student's current academic and functional performance levels, a list of IEP team members seeking excusal from the meeting along with their input, and an invitation for parental feedback on the proposed IEP services.

Furthermore, the bill establishes the Individualized Education Program (IEP) Improvement Working Group within the Department of Education. This group will consist of various stakeholders, including teachers, principals, special education directors, school board members, parents of students receiving special education services, and experts in the field. The working group is tasked with examining and recommending improvements to the IEP development and implementation process, ensuring parental involvement, and exploring best practices from other states. The group is required to issue a report with its recommendations within four months of its formation.
