Summary

Starting in 2026 the bill gives towns that spend more than the state average on special education a supplemental grant, and from 2027 it provides a contingency grant to cover costs that exceed twice the per‑student expenditure. It also bars the state board from approving any private special‑education provider owned by a private‑equity firm. Finally, the Commissioner must convene a working group to study new public‑private partnership models and possible changes to provider eligibility, reporting its findings by Jan. 1 2027.
