Requires special education students in schools scheduled for closure or significant change to be reassigned to new schools before the change takes.

This bill amends the education law to ensure that all special education students in schools scheduled to be closed or undergo significant changes are assigned to new schools before the closure or change is implemented. The bill mandates that the city board approve any proposed school closures or significant changes in school utilization and requires the chancellor to verify that the new schools can accommodate the special education students. The changes will not take effect until all special education students have been reassigned and the chancellor has confirmed the new schools' capacity.
