Bill Summary

To reimburse local and regional boards of education for the cost of transition services for a student who reaches twenty-two years of age for the school year in which such student reaches such age.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to require the state to reimburse local and regional school boards for the cost of transition services for students who are 22 years old during a specific school year. Transition services are specialized educational supports designed to help students with disabilities prepare for life after high school, such as moving into higher education, vocational training, employment, or independent living. Currently, students with disabilities are entitled to receive special education services until they turn 22, and this bill would ensure that local school districts are fully compensated by the state for providing these critical transition services during the school year when a student reaches 22 years of age. By mandating state reimbursement, the bill aims to reduce the financial burden on local school boards and encourage comprehensive transition planning and support for students with disabilities as they prepare to move into adulthood.
