An Act to aid school district budgets for special education students who move during the school year

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to adjust how school districts calculate funding for special education students who move during the school year. Currently, districts lose budget support if a student transfers after April 1, but this change extends the deadline to March 1 to help districts retain funding for the remainder of the academic year. The update directly affects school districts in Massachusetts that serve students with special needs who relocate mid-year. By shifting the cutoff date, the legislation aims to provide more financial stability for districts managing these transitions.
