BILL NUMBER:S5361 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to eliminating the requirement for written parental consent prior to initial placement of a student with a disability in a July/August program; PURPOSE: To streamline the process of providing July/August programs to students with disabilities. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends section 4402(2)(a) of the education law to remove the duplicative requirement that school districts obtain the written consent of the parent prior to the initial placement of the student in a summer program. Section 2: Sets forth an immediate effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Some students require a full twelve month educational program to maintain educational progress.
