With Governor Lamont's signature, Public Act 25-15, allows military-connected children in Connecticut to transfer any Individual Education Plan within 30 days of enrollment, and allows military-connected children to remain in their school district for the duration of the school year, even if their parent relocates due to military orders. Any child in grade eleven, may continue for one additional school year to graduate from that district.

The party who filed for due process has the burden of going forward with the evidence. In all cases, however, the public agency has the burden of proving the appropriateness of the child’s program or placement, or of the program or placement proposed by the public agency. This burden shall be met by a preponderance of the evidence, except for hearings conducted pursuant to 34 CFR Section 300.521.
