AI Summary

This bill seeks to reform special education funding by requiring the costs associated with a student's special education to follow the student if they change school districts mid-year. Specifically, the bill proposes amending the existing law to state that the cost appropriated by the original school district shall fund the student's needs through the end of the current fiscal year, after which the new district will be responsible for all costs going forward.
