Description

A recent federal court decision and an informal opinion of counsel from the NYS Education Department reinterpreted the law related to special education eligibility. In this episode, we focus on special education, specifically the rules for determining when a student with a disability has aged out of the eligibility criteria.

As we dive into our discussion today, please keep in mind that board members should seek legal counsel from their school attorneys when considering these important legal developments.
