establishing local school district special education parent advisory councils.

HB 121 requires every local school district to establish a parent advisory council for special education. These councils must include parents of students with disabilities and provide input on district special education programs and services. The bill mandates that districts create these councils within 12 months of the law taking effect, ensuring parents directly affected by special education decisions have a formal role in shaping policies. The legislation does not specify council size or meeting frequency but requires districts to adopt procedures for council operations.
