Monitoring and enforcement of special education case load limits required.

This bill requires Minnesota school districts to strictly limit the number of special education students assigned to each classroom and the workload of related service providers. It establishes specific maximum student-to-adult ratios based on the severity of students' disabilities, such as capping classes for students with autism or cognitive disabilities at no more than three students per teacher for those with severe needs. The law also mandates that districts create policies to manage the workloads of therapists, psychologists, and other support staff, ensuring these policies are negotiated with union representatives if applicable. Additionally, the bill creates a formal process for parents and the public to file complaints if they believe these limits are being exceeded, requiring the state education department to investigate such claims within 60 days.
