Improving individualized education plans for special education.

HB 1528 requires Washington's Superintendent of Public Instruction to create a free, statewide online system for managing individualized education plans (IEPs) for students with disabilities. The system must provide a uniform platform for schools, ensure compliance with federal and state special education laws, and include features like secure access, privacy protections, translation services, and tools to align IEP goals with grade-level standards. It mandates that the system support family engagement with progress data, incorporate evidence-based practices, and meet accessibility standards. The bill also requires statewide training for educators, administrators, and families to implement the system effectively.
