AI Summary
This bill aims to promote cost-effective, high-quality in-district programs for students with disabilities. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will develop and administer a discretionary grant pilot program to provide funding to school districts to design, implement, and evaluate inclusive in-district programs for students with disabilities currently enrolled in out-of-district programs or at risk of such placement. The goal is to educate these students in their local communities, with access to general education settings and maximum opportunities to be educated with their non-disabled peers. The pilot program will involve six school districts (two rural, two suburban, and two urban) and run for at least three and no more than four years. An advisory committee will assist the department in developing and implementing the grant program, which will be evaluated to document planning costs, efficacy, operational successes and challenges, student outcomes, and cost-effectiveness.
