Requires DOE to establish comprehensive searchable website concerning educational programs and resources available to special education students.
New Jersey bill S 1591 requires the Department of Education to create and maintain a searchable website listing all special education resources for students with disabilities. The website must include information on approved schools (both in-state and out-of-state), specialized programs, assistive technologies, and support organizations, all organized for easy public access. It must be searchable by disability type, location, and keyword, updated annually, and developed with input from the State Special Education Advisory Council. The bill, introduced in January 2024, directly affects special education students and families by centralizing hard-to-find resource information in one accessible location.
