Bill Summary
The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: Takes away the cap on the amount of state moneys that a school district may receive for a student who is a child with a disability. (Flesch Readability Score: 63.3). Removes the percentage cap on the amount of moneys that are distributed from the State School Fund to school districts for students eligible for special education as a child with a disability. Declares an emergency, effective July 1, 2025.
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the existing 11 percent cap on the additional funding that school districts receive for students with disabilities in their average daily membership (ADMw) calculations. Currently, school districts receive additional weighted funding for students eligible for special education, but they were previously limited to counting only up to 11 percent of their total student population for this extra funding without requiring Department of Education review. The bill removes this percentage restriction, which means school districts can now receive full state funding for all students with disabilities, potentially providing more financial support for special education programs. The bill declares an emergency and will take effect on July 1, 2025, with the new funding calculations applying to State School Fund distributions starting in the 2025-2026 school year. By removing this cap, the legislation aims to provide more comprehensive financial support for school districts serving students with disabilities, ensuring that all such students can receive the necessary educational resources and support.
