For many parents of children with disabilities, an IEP meeting can feel like walking into a high-stakes discussion with little time to prepare. A new NJ IEP meeting law is changing that dynamic by giving families a clearer warning before important school decisions are made. Under the measure, schools must provide parents with at least two business days’ notice before holding an Individualized Education Program meeting. Supporters say that a small scheduling change could have a major impact on parent participation, preparation, and student outcomes.
