Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill extends special education services for students with disabilities in Washington state. Currently, services can end at age 21, but this bill ensures they continue until the end of the school year in which a student turns 22. This change is a response to a court ruling that found the previous policy violated federal law.
