Bill aims to inform about deaf, blind school choice
Students from across the state attend the CSB and the CSD, including many from rural districts where there are insufficient resources to provide adequate services to deaf and blind students.
Currently, parents and guardians of disabled children are given a notice of procedural safeguards that provides them with an overview of their educational rights. The notice must be given to parents the first time their child is referred for a special education assessment.
Under Torrico's bill, the notice would include information regarding the School for the Blind and the School for the Deaf.
The Assembly also voted 64-0 to approve AB 2604, a Torrico bill that encourages cities and counties to defer the collection of development impact fees to the close of escrow, with the exception of school impact fees.
