- 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. Queens families are served through the same New York City Department of Education processes that apply across the five boroughs.
