Bill Summary
Under the provisions of the "School Funding Reform Act of 2008" (SFRA), P.L.2007, c.260 (C.18A:7F-43 et al.), two-thirds of the excess cost of general special education services pupils is included in the adequacy budget, and therefore, supported on a wealth-equalized basis through equalization aid. The remaining one-third is provided as categorical aid. This bill provides that all of the excess cost of general special education services pupils will be supported through categorical special education State aid. Students who are classified as eligible for speech-only services will continue to be included in the adequacy budget and supported on a wealth-equalized basis.
AI Summary

Students who are classified as eligible for speech-only services will continue to be included in the adequacy budget and supported on a wealth-equalized basis. The bill also makes changes to the calculation of special education categorical aid and the availability of extraordinary special education aid for individual classified pupils.
