Extends special education services for students with disabilities until the end of the school year in which they turn 22.

The bill extends special education services for students with disabilities in Washington until the end of the school year in which they turn 22. This change responds to a court ruling that found the previous policy of ending services at age 21 violated the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The bill mandates collaboration among state agencies to update transition planning activities and requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to report on outcomes for students with disabilities after high school graduation.
