Bill > H401

This bill proposes to reform special education funding by ensuring that the costs associated with a student's special education needs follow them when they transfer to a new school district in the middle of a school year. Specifically, it amends Section 5 of Chapter 71B of the General Laws to state that the original district's allocated funding will cover all of the child's special education needs until the end of the current fiscal year, at which point the new district will assume all future costs. This change aims to provide financial continuity for students with special education requirements during mid-year school transitions.
