NEW (9-2017)information from Oregon legislature:

"SB263 (Chapter 322), Effective July 1, 2017, Creates provisions. The bill creates new rules and procedures when requiring students to participate in an abbreviated school day. A school district cannot unilaterally place a student in a program with a an abbreviated school day. An IEP team may place a student on a abbreviated school day if the IEP team determines this is the best placement, has given parents the opportunity to meaningfully participate in the IEP process and has documented that the IEP team has considered options for a full school day for the student. If the student is placed on a abbreviated school day through the IEP process, the school district must send regular information about the placement to be signed by the parent that includes notification of the parent's right to request a re-evaluation of the IEP at any time. This notice must be sent at least once per term or semester while the student is on a abbreviated school day. The requirement to sent this notice does not apply to placement in an abbreviated school day program related to discipline, seniors in high school on track to graduate or home school or private school students who attend school part time."
