Requires certain information about provision of special education services in group setting be included in individualized education programs.
This bill requires New Jersey public schools to include specific details in students' Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) when special education services are provided in a group setting. Specifically, IEPs must state the number of other students in the group and the number of teachers present during those services. School districts must add this information during the next scheduled IEP review after the bill takes effect and at all subsequent reviews. The law directly affects students receiving group-based special education services and their school districts, which must update IEPs to include these transparency metrics. It does not change educational standards or service requirements, only adding specified data points to existing IEP documentation.
