HD 1211 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to independent child protection

HD 1211 requires the school committee of a child's former district to continue funding their approved special education placement (in a private day/residential school or pediatric nursing home) for the remainder of the fiscal year if the family moves to a new district. It covers all approved budgeted costs, including transportation, safety expenses, and required inspections. This applies specifically to children with disabilities already receiving such services under the previous district's arrangement. The bill ensures uninterrupted educational support during relocation, directly affecting moving families and former school districts.
