Washington HB2557 mandates school districts to provide parents with special education evaluation reports five days before eligibility meetings.

Washington HB2557 requires school districts to furnish parents with finalized special education evaluation reports at least five school days before eligibility meetings. This ensures parents have adequate time to review the reports, consult with professionals, and prepare questions or input. The reports must be provided in a format accessible to parents, either written or electronic, but not solely through screen sharing or during the meeting itself. Parents may waive this timeline in writing, but only for the specific meeting in question.
