Changes provisions governing special educational services

HB 1008 updates requirements for providing special education services to children with disabilities aged three and four. It mandates school districts and special school districts to create service delivery plans involving community agencies, ensure state funding for these services comes from a separate budget line (not general school funds), and clarify transitions from early intervention programs (Part C) at age three. The bill defines eligibility for "young children with developmental delays" (ages three to nine) and specifies that remedial reading programs do not count as special education services. It directly affects school districts, service providers, and children with disabilities aged three to four.
