AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Largely a reorganization of existing law, this bill moves several special education funding programs — including the Self-Contained Program, the Preschool Program, and the Extended School Year Program — into their own separate sections of state code, adds new definitions, and directs the State Board of Education to create accounting procedures and establish rules for how school districts and charter schools (referred to as local education agencies, or LEAs) report and spend these funds. It also requires the State Board of Education to pass money through to local education agencies specifically to serve students in state care, and allows LEAs to spend up to 25% of their Self-Contained Support Add-on Program funds on general education costs rather than exclusively on special education.
