AI Summary

This bill amends the definitions of "assumed tuitioned-out special education enrollment" and "assumed in-school special education enrollment" in the state's education funding law. It also modifies the reimbursement formula for special education costs, starting at 80% reimbursement in fiscal year 2018 for costs above 3.75 times the per-pupil foundation budget, and gradually decreasing the threshold to 3.0 times the per-pupil foundation budget in fiscal year 2021 and beyond. Additionally, the bill strikes out language related to transportation costs in the special education reimbursement provisions.
