Bill > HB05381

This bill proposes to amend section 10-76g of the general statutes to ensure full funding of special education excess cost grants at a level matching the Department of Education's most recent cost estimates. An excess cost grant is a type of financial support provided by the state to help local school districts cover the additional expenses associated with educating students who require special education services, which can be significantly more costly than educating students without specialized needs. By mandating that the state fully fund these grants based on the most current departmental estimates, the bill aims to provide municipalities with predictable and comprehensive financial support for special education programs, potentially reducing the financial burden on local school districts and ensuring that students with special needs receive adequate educational resources.
