What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) provides state categorical aid for certain costs of educating and transporting pupils enrolled in special education and of school age parents programs. DPI also provides additional categorical aid if a school board, board of control of a cooperative educational service agency, county children with disabilities education board, or operator of independent charter school spends more than $30,000 of nonadministrative costs to provide special education services to a child and those costs are not eligible for reimbursement under the state special education program, the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or the federal Medicaid program. This bill increases the amounts appropriated for both of these state categorical aids in the 2014-15 fiscal year.
