AI Summary
This bill establishes a three-year phase-in for the full funding of extraordinary special education State aid, which is financial assistance provided to school districts for the exceptionally high costs associated with educating students with special needs. Currently, only a portion of this aid is funded, with approximately 58 percent provided in the 2019-2020 school year. Under this bill, school districts will receive 65 percent of the calculated extraordinary special education aid in the first full school year after the bill becomes law, 80 percent in the second year, and 100 percent in the third year and every year thereafter, ensuring that districts receive the full amount of aid they are entitled to for these specialized educational services.
