	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1742, Coto. Education: special education.
   Existing law requires a nonpublic, nonsectarian school that
provides special education and related services to an individual with
exceptional needs in any of the grades from kindergarten through
grade 12 to certify in writing to the Superintendent of Public
Instruction that it meets specified requirements, including the
requirement that it will not accept a pupil with exceptional needs if
it cannot provide the services outlined in the pupil's
individualized education program, as specified.
   This bill would specify the required standards-based, core
curriculum and instructional materials used to provide the special
education and related services including technology-based materials,
as specified.
