Minnesota SF2078 modifies requirements for individualized education programs for students with disabilities.

Minnesota SF2078 amends the state's education code to modify the requirements for individualized education programs (IEP) for students with disabilities. The bill mandates that each school district must have an IEP for each child with a disability, ensuring that the program addresses the student's needs to develop skills for independent living and working within the community. The IEP team must consider positive behavioral interventions and supports. During grade 9, the IEP team may authorize services covered by medical assistance.
