Provide state funding for preschool children with disabilities

Complete·5/13/25

HB168 provides state funding for preschool children with disabilities by including them in average number belonging calculations.

HB168 amends school funding laws to include 3-year-old and 4-year-old children with disabilities in average number belonging calculations. This change ensures that preschool children with disabilities participating in special education programs are eligible for inclusion in funding calculations. The bill specifies that these children must meet certain criteria, such as being enrolled in a special education program and not having graduated. The changes apply to enrollment counts and average number belonging calculations conducted in school fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2025.
