AI Summary
This bill establishes a special commission to investigate and study special education for low-income students in the Commonwealth. The commission will study the potential problem and consequences of over-identifying low-income students as having disabilities, as well as the impact of federal and state academic progress mandates on special education identification in districts. The commission will also identify municipalities paying 2% or more above the average special education costs of abutting municipalities, and recommend that those municipalities be reimbursed by the Commonwealth for the difference in additional special education costs. The commission will report its findings and recommendations to the General Court within 120 days of its first meeting.
