PDE extends special education services until 22nd birthday
Zachary D'Amico
As of September 5, 2023, the Pennsylvania Department of Education has changed the law that students receiving special education services can stay in school until the day before their 22nd birthday. This change allows all 2023 grads, who aged out at 21, to come back if they want to participate until they reach the age of 22. Please visit the link below for information about the amended law. If after reviewing the link you have any additional questions, please contact Dr. Sharon Smith, Director of Special Education at Sharon.smith@ht-sd.org .
