Amendments To The ECEA Rules
The State Board of Education held a Rulemaking Hearing on
December 5, 2012 and approved the proposed changes on January 9,
2013. These changes affect sections regarding approved facility
schools, the definition of “administrative unit” to make it
consistent with statute, eliminate an expired section regarding due
process hearings, and add the new eligibility category definition
and criteria for “Child with a Developmental Delay”.
Below is a copy of the approved changes:
Once these changes become effective, they will be posted on the Secretary of State’s website and the CDE unofficial version will be posted on this website at: http://www.cde.state.co.us/spedlaw/Rules.htm
