Bill Summary

Eliminates use of census-based funding of special education aid in school funding law.

AI Summary

This bill eliminates the use of census-based funding of special education aid in the school funding law. Specifically, it removes the provisions that calculate special education aid based on the state average classification rates for general special education services pupils and speech-only pupils. Instead, the bill revises the formula to calculate special education aid based on the actual number of general special education services pupils and speech-only pupils in each district's enrollment. The bill also deletes sections related to an independent study on the special education census funding methodology and a district's ability to apply for additional special education aid due to an unusually high rate of low-incidence disabilities.
