The legal frame
Six frameworks govern language access in K-12 special education. Most of them overlap. Here's what each one actually requires of a New Jersey district.
34 CFR §300 — translation and interpretation duties at IEP team meetings, evaluations, and consent.
Rehab Act — auxiliary aids and effective communication for students with disabilities.
Public-entity obligations including the 2027/2028 web-accessibility deadlines.
Civil Rights Act — language access for LEP families across the district.
NJSA 18A:46, TBE/ESL thresholds, NJ DOE administration of Part B.
Where machine translation creates legal exposure — and where it's actually fine.
