A2879

New Jersey A2879 ensures full funding of extraordinary special education State aid.

New Jersey A2879 mandates that the State will fund extraordinary special education aid at 100 percent of the amount calculated under current law, starting from the first full school year following the date of enactment and each year thereafter. This bill addresses the shortfall in funding for special education costs exceeding $40,000 for students in public school programs and $55,000 for those in private schools for students with disabilities. The reimbursement rates are set at 90 percent for public school programs and 75 percent for private schools.
