SB1073 amends Tennessee's special education laws by requiring local educational agencies (LEA) to notify parents or guardians of students with Individualized Education Programs (IEP) at least ten calendar days before the IEP meeting. LEAs must also provide parents with copies of all evaluations and assessments, and a draft IEP if one exists, at least forty-eight hours before the scheduled meeting, unless the parent declines in writing. This act aims to ensure parents have adequate time and information to participate in their child's IEP process.
