LB 682 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Update terminology relating to individualized education programs for high school students

Nebraska's LB 682 updates the terminology in state law regarding certificates of attendance for high school students with special education needs. It clarifies that students aged 17 who haven't completed their individualized education program (IEP) but receive special education services may receive a certificate of attendance. This allows them to participate in their high school's graduation ceremony alongside diploma recipients, without ending the school district's obligation to provide special education services. The bill also ensures students can later earn a high school diploma by meeting graduation requirements or completing an IEP, and it repeals the previous section it amends.
