An Act Regarding Special Education Funding For So-Called Minimum Receiver School Administration Units
This bill amends the state's special education funding formula to change when a specific funding threshold takes effect. Instead of the originally proposed start date of fiscal year 2022-23, the new minimum state share of 55% for certain school districts will begin in fiscal year 2024-25. Additionally, the legislation removes a requirement for the Department of Education to review and report on these specific school administrative units. These changes directly affect how state funds are distributed to school districts providing special education services.
