AI Summary
This bill establishes a special commission to investigate and study special education with regards to low-income students in the Commonwealth. The commission will study and recommend strategies to address the potential problem and consequences of over-identifying low-income students as students with disabilities, as well as the impact that federal and state academic progress mandates have on districts as they identify students for special education. The commission will also identify any municipality paying 2% or greater the average of special education costs of each abutting municipality, and the Commonwealth will reimburse those municipalities for the difference in additional special education costs. The commission will report its findings and recommendations to the General Court within 120 days of its first meeting.
