AB 560: Special education: resource specialists: special classes.

This bill aims to amend the education code to improve special education services. Local educational agencies must distribute the workload associated with initial assessments among resource specialists in an equal manner, unless otherwise collectively bargained. The bill also requires the superintendent of public instruction to recommend a maximum adult-to-pupil staffing ratio for special classes by July 1, 2027, and report the recommendation to the legislature and state board. The bill provides for reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for costs mandated by the state if the commission on state mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
