Bill Summary
Relative to special education costs in public school districts. Education.
AI Summary
This bill requires each school district in Massachusetts to report detailed data on their special education expenditures and staffing to the state Commissioner of Education. Based on this data, the Commissioner will annually analyze whether the state's assumptions about special education enrollment and staffing requirements are adequate to cover the actual costs of providing special education services. The analysis will also identify districts where special education costs exceed 125% of the state funding provided, and determine the overall difference between the amount of state special education funding and the actual costs statewide. The results of this analysis will be provided to state budget and education committees.
