Eliminates use of census-based funding of special education aid in school funding law.

Bill A3798 eliminates New Jersey's census-based method for funding special education services, replacing it with a system that calculates aid based on the actual number of special education students in each district. Currently, districts receive special education aid based on an assumed percentage of students needing services, rather than the actual count of students requiring special education. The bill changes this by requiring the State to use each district's actual special education student enrollment to determine funding amounts. This policy change affects all school districts in New Jersey that receive special education aid under the School Funding Reform Act of 2008. The change aims to provide more accurate funding that better reflects each district's actual special education needs.
