Overview
This bill proposes a three-year plan to fully fund extraordinary special education state aid. Currently, districts receive aid based on student enrollment and costs, with additional support for students educated outside of traditional special education programs. The bill outlines a phased-in approach, increasing funding percentages each year, and establishes criteria for districts to receive this aid, including demonstrating the need for intensive services and providing detailed expense information. It also includes a provision for an independent study to evaluate the special education funding methodology.
