Show Notes
Governor Bob Ferguson signs a new bill giving parents more time to review school reports before special education services. The law requires districts to share evaluation reports at least five days ahead of eligibility meetings, helping families prepare better. Parents can waive the review, but districts missing the deadline counts as a violation. Parents like Rachelle Miller pushed for this change, calling it a simple fix that builds trust. Lawmakers and advocates praised the bill for cutting conflicts and improving services. However, some families want faster action overall, like shortening the twenty-five school days districts take to even agree to evaluate a child.
