Bill Summary

For legislation relative to special education funding. Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes changes to how special education funding is calculated and allocated. It introduces two new definitions: "Assumed tuitioned-out special education enrollment," which refers to the percentage of students with an individual education plan (IEP) who attend an out-of-district placement like a private school, and "Assumed in-school special education enrollment," which is the percentage of students with an IEP who attend an in-district placement. The bill also makes technical adjustments to existing law by changing a numerical reference and removing the phrase "subject to appropriation" from certain sections, which could imply a more direct or guaranteed funding mechanism for special education services rather than relying solely on legislative budget allocations.
