Resolve establishing a special education funding reform commission

This bill creates a Special Education Financing Commission to study and recommend changes to how Massachusetts funds special education services for students with disabilities. The commission will include leaders from the state government, education agencies, and various advocacy groups, and it must hold at least four public hearings before submitting its report by June 30, 2024. Its review focuses on ensuring funding is fair across districts, stable for budgeting, and sufficient to cover unique student needs and transportation costs without encouraging misdiagnosis. The final recommendations will be shared with key legislative committees and made available to the public.
