FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB811 by Rodríguez (relating to providing a translated copy of a student’s individualized education program to parents unable to speak English.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require school districts to provide a child's individualized education program (IEP) in audiotape form to parents who are unable to speak English, if the parent requests it. The audiotape would be required to include all components of the IEP required under state or federal law that are developed or revised by the committee.
Local Government Impact
Districts may incur additional costs to having IEPs orally translated or related to making audio recordings of admission, review, and dismissal committee meetings for IEPs
