AI Summary
This bill, the IDEA High Cost Pool Funding Act, amends the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to direct the Secretary of Education to provide additional funds to states to establish and make disbursements from "high cost funds." These funds are designed to assist states in addressing the needs of high-need children with disabilities. The bill establishes a new grant program that will give states 5% of their IDEA allocation, with a minimum of 5% of their 2010 allocation, to set up and operate these high cost funds. States must provide 25% in matching funds or use 25% in non-federal funds for similar activities during the grant period. The bill also requires the Secretary to report annually on the effectiveness of the high cost fund disbursements.
