SCS/HCS/HB 236 – This act creates "Kaitlyn's Law," which requires school districts that operate a high school to adopt a policy to allow students eligible under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act who have completed four years of high school to participate in graduation ceremonies and related activities with the student's graduating class. The student's IEP must prescribe services, as described in the act, beyond the student's four years of high school. The student's IEP team must determine that the student is making satisfactory progress and that participation in the graduation ceremony is appropriate. This act contains an emergency clause.
