New Jersey S1767 eliminates census-based funding for special education aid, basing it instead on actual special education student enrollment.
New Jersey S1767 changes the method of calculating special education aid to school districts. Currently, the state uses a census-based method, which assumes a fixed percentage of the total student population requires special education services. This bill shifts to a method based on the actual number of special education students in each district's enrollment. The change aims to provide more accurate and equitable funding based on the actual needs of special education students.
