Collect Data Language Translation Services Special Education

Current law requires that a child with a disability be provided with an individualized education program (IEP), developed by a multidisciplinary team that includes the child's parents or guardians. The bill requires the department of education to use the existing special education data and information system to track the provision of language translation services related to IEPs and include such data as part of its annual "SMART Act" hearing.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
