What Special Education Parents Need to Know Now That S3434 Has Been Signed
Education Law Center
S3434 was signed by Governor Murphy on June 16, 2021. It allows students who turned 21 during the 2020-2021 to continue to receive special education, related services, and transition services through at least the 2021-2022 school year. These services must be provided to those students during the 2021-2022 school year when the Individualized Education Program Team (IEP) team, including the parent and adult student, determine that the student requires additional or compensatory special education and related services, including transition services. The student will not be eligible to receive services beyond June 30, 2022, unless provided for in the student's IEP, or as ordered by a hearing offer, complaint investigation, or court of competent jurisdiction. Because the bill was signed so late, most children have likely graduated. Parents can still seek services under the law. This fact sheet answers important questions for parents about their children's rights under S3434.
