House Bill 1572: Study of Special Education Needs for Nonpublic Schools

Sponsors:
Meslow, Latz, Simon, Erickson, and Demmer

Summary:
This bill would provide for a study which would investigate how well special needs children in nonpublic schools are being served, and if services are being provided in the least restrictive manner possible.

Status:

03/07/2005

(H) Introduction and first reading, referred to education finance.

Action Requested:
None at this time.

HSLDA's Position:
Cautious support. Current law leaves the provision of special education services up to the local school district, which has resulted in an unpredictable patchwork of services to homeschool families. This bill would begin to study this problem.
