Bill > HB05661

This bill proposes to amend section 10-76g of Connecticut's general statutes to ensure full funding of special education excess cost grants. Special education excess cost grants are financial allocations provided by the state to help local school districts cover the additional expenses associated with educating students with disabilities, which are typically more costly than educating students without special needs. The bill specifically mandates that the grants be funded at an amount equal to the most recent estimates from the Department of Education, which aims to provide more comprehensive and predictable financial support for towns' special education programs. By ensuring full funding, the legislation seeks to help local school districts manage the often significant expenses related to providing specialized educational services and support for students with disabilities.
