Bill Summary
In the 2019-2020 school year, approximately 58 percent of the total extraordinary special education State aid was provided to school districts based on the funding in the annual appropriations act. The bill phases in the full funding of extraordinary special education State aid over three years according to the following schedule:· 65 percent in the first full school year following the effective date of the bill;· 80 percent in the second full school year following the effective date of the bill; and· 100 percent in the third full school year following the effective date of the bill and in each school year thereafter.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a three-year phase-in for the full funding of extraordinary special education State aid, which is financial assistance provided to school districts for students with exceptionally high special education needs. Currently, in the 2019-2020 school year, only about 58 percent of this aid was provided. Under this bill, school districts will receive 65 percent of the calculated extraordinary special education aid in the first full school year after the bill becomes law, 80 percent in the second year, and 100 percent in the third year and every year thereafter. This means that the State will gradually increase its contribution towards the costs of educating students with significant special education requirements over a three-year period until it fully covers the calculated amount.
