Allowing school districts and charter schools to charge reasonable fees for before and after school care to extend services to more students
Following public health guidelines for programs serving children
Allowing students who have aged out of developmental delay services to continue receiving services during the peacetime emergency
Prioritizing in-person instruction and services for students with disabilities
Expanding special education transportation capacity
Increasing access to mental health services
Implementing creative and compassionate processes for engaging students and families, rather than referring them for truancy.
