Bill > AB2526

This bill expresses the Legislature's intent to create a new component for the local control funding formula, which is the system used to calculate state funding for schools. Currently, this formula provides a base grant along with additional funding based on the number of students who are English learners, in foster care, or eligible for free or reduced-price meals. The proposed change would add a "special education grant add-on" to this formula, which would provide extra funding based on the percentage of students identified as "severely disabled." "Severely disabled" refers to students with exceptional needs who require intensive instruction for profound disabilities and those who would have previously qualified for a development center for handicapped pupils.
