Summary
The purpose of this bill is to provide a more equitable distribution to county boards of reimbursement of the costs of serving high cost/high acuity special needs students. These are students whose educational costs exceed three times the average per student cost and include regularly enrolled, out-of-state placed and residential facility students with special needs who are enrolled with a county board. The reimbursement of costs over that limit is made with a combination of state and federal funds, but currently meet only fifty-four percent of the eligible requests. At less than full reimbursement, counties with higher percentages high cost/high acuity special needs students spend a disproportionate percentage of their instructional budgets on them. The bill requires a distribution formula that equalizes the budgetary impact as much as possible.
