This bill mandates that public schools in New Jersey 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) review meeting at least two business days in advance. The statement must 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.

Additionally, the bill establishes the Individualized Education Program (IEP) Improvement Working Group within the Department of Education, tasked with recommending improvements for IEP development and implementation while ensuring parental involvement. The working group will consist of various stakeholders, including teachers, principals, parents, and experts in special education, and is required to issue a report with recommendations within four months of its formation. The bill is set to take effect immediately, with the provisions of the first section applying to the first school year following its enactment.
