Directs State Board of Education to require that when individualized education program (IEP) team is developing individualized education program for student prone to regression, it must consider consistency of staffing.

This bill (A2985) requires New Jersey's State Board of Education to mandate that Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams consider staffing consistency when developing IEPs for students prone to regression - such as those with autism spectrum disorder - during placement decisions. It specifically adds "consistency of staffing" as a required factor alongside location and curriculum stability when determining in-district special education placements. The law amends existing regulations (P.L.2013, c.19) to ensure IEP teams evaluate how frequent staff changes might impact a student’s progress. This applies directly to school districts, IEP teams, and parents/guardians of students identified as vulnerable to regression due to inconsistent service delivery.
