Overview
This bill aims to adjust how special education funding is distributed to local school districts. Specifically, it proposes to base a portion of the funding on the number of students eligible to take alternative assessments, rather than just those with low-incidence disabilities. It also requires school districts to report the enrollment of severely disabled students and establishes a process for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to apportion funds based on this data, prioritizing early interventions. The bill also makes changes to the county local control funding formula to include a special education grant.
