A bill for an act modifying the responsibilities of school district teachers and other educational staff related to students who have individualized education programs or plans under section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act.

HF 2306 requires Iowa school district teachers and instructional staff to read and acknowledge individualized education programs (IEPs) or Section 504 plans for students with disabilities. Specifically, teachers must read these plans and provide written notice to the special education teacher or principal, while instructional assistants must attend related meetings unless parents object. The bill modifies staff responsibilities to ensure alignment with federal disability accommodations under the Rehabilitation Act. Funding for compliance will be covered by existing state school foundation aid, eliminating the need for additional state funds.
