Pendency & Stay-Put Support for Manhattan Families
Parent Education Intake Manhattan is part of how Nexus Integrated Care works with schools, education administrators, and other authorized education partners serving children throughout Manhattan. When a student requires appropriate special-education support, our team can assist with intake, documentation review, provider coordination, and service implementation within Nexus’s capabilities and subject to applicable requirements and provider availability.
- Is This You?
When an intake review may be helpful for Manhattan familiesT
- Your child is moving from CPSE/preschool services to CSE/kindergarten and you are concerned about continuity of services in Manhattan.
- IEP services have been interrupted, reduced, delayed, or are not being implemented as expected.

- Understanding Your Situation
What Is Pendency / Stay-Put?
Pendency, sometimes called “stay-put,” generally refers to protections that may allow a student to maintain the last agreed-upon educational placement and/or services while certain special-education due-process proceedings are pending. Whether pendency applies depends on the individual facts, educational history, documents, and legal circumstances of the case. Manhattan families are served through the same New York City Department of Education processes that apply across the five boroughs.
