Why 2/5: The bill mandates a report and guideline development by November 2026, indicating a long-term planning and implementation timeline rather than immediate operational changes.
The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) will develop new guidelines to help students with disabilities transition from high school to college, ensuring they receive timely services and accommodations. These guidelines will be available to IEP teams and public colleges, with private colleges encouraged to adopt them, aiming to improve support for students with disabilities pursuing higher education.
