Special Education Forms Proposed Revisions

Thank you for providing valuable input and feedback to the draft proposed form revisions during the comment period. Feedback surveys are now closed, and the Department is in the process of reviewing these considerations and making revisions to the proposed forms. After those revisions are made, the forms will go through an approval process at the Department before being released to the public. There will be an implementation calendar once we have finalized forms. Please check back here for future updates.
