Private Providers

Complete·6/2/26

Private providers can offer health, behavioral, and therapeutic services to students during school hours.

This bill allows private providers to offer health, behavioral, and therapeutic services to students during school hours, provided the parent or guardian requests these services. The State Board of Education must develop a model policy for these services, which districts must adopt or create their own policy that meets the minimum requirements. The policy must include a case-by-case review process, require background checks for providers, and ensure that any missed instruction is forgiven. The bill also defines terms such as "evaluator," "private provider," and "classroom aide.
