file a written request with the department of public instruction for a hearing
whenever a school board proposes or refuses to initiate or change the child's
multidisciplinary team evaluation, individualized education program, educational
placement or the provision of an appropriate special education program.
This bill provides that the written request for a hearing must be filed within one
year after the proposal or refusal of the school board to initiate or change the child's
