My daughter (6) is medically complex and has an Individualized Healthcare Plan (IHP) developed alongside her IEP annually.
She has not had a finalized IHP since October 2021. I have been more than patient in working with the school to get this done but without success. Quick facts: (1) We are in NJ, (2) She has an IEP which has been finalized for the school year, (3) Medical documentation has been provided, (4) I escalated the issue to the principal months ago. (5) I have not contacted a lawyer because I don't know if IHPs are mandated like IEPs.
I don't want to go the legal route without knowing if we have any legs to stand on, which is why I'm here: are NJ schools obligated to formalize an IHP within a timeframe, given medical documentation that my child's condition requires specialized care and staff training to keep her safe while at school?
If there is a legal mandate for this, can someone point me to a resource with the legislation? Thank you.
