Establishes provisions relating to special education programs

This bill updates Missouri special education laws to strengthen parental involvement in a student's Individualized Education Program (IEP). It requires school districts to obtain written parental consent before making specific changes to a child's services, such as initial placements, location changes, or reducing service time by more than 25 percent. The legislation also mandates that parents be allowed to visit proposed classrooms before agreeing to changes and establishes a standardized consent form that explains parental rights in the parent's native language. If parents and schools cannot agree on an IEP, the bill outlines procedures for partial agreements and dispute resolution options like mediation or due process hearings.
