This bill adjusts the minimum state share of special education costs for school administrative units in Maine.

This bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to change the minimum state share of special education costs for school administrative units. Beginning in fiscal year 2025-26, the minimum state share must be 55%. Previously, it was set at 45% for fiscal year 2019-20 and 50% for fiscal years 2020-21 through 2024-25. This change affects how much the state contributes to the special education costs of school administrative units.
