Modernized Children with Disabilities Funding.

Summary

The bill increases the maximum percentage of students for whom a school can receive state special‑education money from 13% to 16% of its average daily membership, and earmarks $82.8 million in recurring state funds for those students starting in 2026‑27. It also creates a $15 million High‑Cost Disabilities Support Fund to reimburse districts for the extra costs of serving students with intensive needs. The changes aim to better match state funding with the growing number of students with disabilities and reduce budget pressure on districts.
