Education

This bill requires every New Hampshire school district to establish a special education parent advisory council (DSEPAC) composed of up to 11 parents, with at least one representative from each town in the district. Council members serve two-year terms and must meet quarterly with school administrators to advise on special education programs, policies, and student safety, while facilitating communication between parents and school leaders. Districts must provide resources for the council, host an annual workshop for parents on special education rights, and require the council to submit a public annual report to the school board. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, directly affecting school districts and parents of students with disabilities.
