A 1386 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires board of education to provide certain information related to special education in native language of parent or guardian.

Bill A 1386 requires New Jersey school districts to provide special education notifications and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to parents or guardians in their native language, unless it is clearly not feasible. This applies to information about student evaluations, placements, and free appropriate public education under federal and state special education laws. If a parent’s native language is unwritten, schools must offer oral translation, confirm understanding, and document the process. The bill directly affects parents and guardians of students with disabilities in New Jersey public schools.
