Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law establishes, as a temporary provision, that a student's eligibility for special education services, as determined by an Eligibility and Characterization Committee or by an Appeals Committee in the 2020/21-2022/23 school years, will be extended for an additional year without the need to hold a renewed discussion in the committee; this is without derogating from the authority to hold a renewed discussion regarding the student if a request to do so is submitted, including by the parents. A further exception is established whereby a renewed discussion will be held regarding students whose eligibility was determined in the 2021/22-2022/23 school years, if the end of the original eligibility period falls near a transition between age stages (from mandatory kindergarten to elementary school, from elementary school to middle school, or from middle school to high school). The Law requires the Ministry of Education, as much as possible, to notify parents within a month of its commencement of the period of extension of eligibility, the right to request a renewed discussion, and the manner of submitting a request for renewed discussion.
