relative to aid to school districts for the cost of special education.

Summary

The proposal directs the state board of education to distribute money to districts that have special‑education pupils whose costs exceed 3.5 times the state’s average per‑pupil spending. It ensures districts receive no less than 80% of their calculated entitlement, even if total appropriations are insufficient, and sets aside up to $250,000 for emergency help, plus another $250,000 for very small communities. Funding would come from the education trust fund, with the governor able to draw a warrant regardless of the fund’s balance.
