As schools across the state rushed to solidify reopening plans, a number of special education concerns needed to be addressed. We have prepared the following FAQ document, which addresses a variety of pressing topics, including the latest on masks and mask exemptions, obligations based on the district’s mode of operations, obligations to students who opt into temporary remote learning opportunities, live streaming considerations, and PPT meetings.

This FAQ document was prepared for informational purposes and in conjunction with a webinar dated September 24, 2020, and does not necessarily reflect any guidance that may have changed since then. If you have specific questions about newer guidance, please feel free to contact one of the attorneys listed on page 1.

Find the twelve FAQs here.
