What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a school district, a county, and a cooperative educational

service agency (CESA) receive state special education aid for the costs of contracting

with a public or private agency for physical or occupational therapy services and for

a variety of other services, including educational interpreters, pupil transition

services, and any services approved by the state superintendent of public

instruction. This bill explicitly authorizes a school district, county, and CESA to

contract for substitute teaching and paraprofessional staffing services and makes

the costs of such a contract eligible for special education aid.
