Bill > HF57

This bill modifies the state's special education cross subsidy aid calculation for school districts by adjusting the cross subsidy aid factor over several fiscal years. Specifically, the bill changes the percentage used to calculate aid from 6.43% in fiscal year 2023 to 44% in fiscal years 2024 and 2025, then increases it to 50% in fiscal year 2026, and finally sets it at 54% for fiscal year 2027 and beyond. Cross subsidy aid is a mechanism that helps school districts offset the additional costs of providing special education services that are not fully covered by state and federal funding. The bill also includes a placeholder for appropriations related to special education aid, though the specific dollar amounts are not specified in the provided text. The changes will be effective for special education aid starting in fiscal year 2026, which means school districts will see incremental increases in their cross subsidy aid over the next few years to help support special education programs.
