Liz Vladeck explains the creation of the Enhanced Rates Equitable Services (ARIS) unit and the enforcement of the June 1st deadline for special education service requests. She discusses the reasons behind these actions and the processes involved.

- The June 1st deadline, which had been on the books for years, was enforced to help with budgeting and planning for the upcoming school year
