BILL NUMBER:S4880 REVISED 5/3/13 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to committees on preschool special education PURPOSE: This legislation would enable school districts to have one consistent set of requirements with respect to the additional parent member for committees on special education. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends the Education Law Section 4410 to provide that the additional parent member on the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) would only be required at the CPSE meeting if requested in writing at least 72 hours prior to the meeting by the parents/guardians, student or member of the CPSE. The parents/guardians of the student would receive written notice of their right to have an additional parent attend any meeting of the CPSE regarding the student. The notice would be accompanied by a statement prepared by the State Education Department that explains the purpose of having the additional parent attend the meeting. JUSTIFICATION: New York State uniquely requires that Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams include a "parent member," separate and in addition to a child's own parent, when convening an annual review of a child's IEP. Although this additional parent member may provide insight into the IEP process, no part of the IEP development is dependent on the additional parent member's expertise.
