Advancing Equity in Special Education Protocols Amendment Act of 2024

This bill amends existing special education laws in the District of Columbia to ensure students with disabilities remain in their original school feeder patterns unless no suitable programs are available there. It requires local education agencies to consult with the student's IEP team and provide written explanations to parents and staff before moving a student outside their assigned school zone. Additionally, the legislation mandates that schools establish and follow specific staff-to-student ratios for self-contained special education classrooms. If a classroom exceeds these ratios, the school must promptly notify teachers, parents, and administrators about the additional resources being allocated to support student needs.
