AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance transparency and reporting on special education services in Massachusetts. It requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to publish detailed data on the delivery of special education services, including the number of students by disability category receiving specific services like related services, assistive technology, and community-based transition services. The data would be disaggregated by various student demographics to identify any disparities. The bill also mandates increased financial reporting and auditing requirements for private special education schools or programs that enroll students funded by the state. Additionally, the Secretary of Education is directed to study and make recommendations on the oversight of these private special education providers.
