Texas HB2199 modifies special education funding allotments under the Foundation School Program.

HB2199 amends the Texas Education Code to adjust funding allotments for special education students. It introduces a new section for enrollment-based funding and modifies existing sections to specify allotments based on instructional arrangements. Special education students in mainstream arrangements receive a basic allotment, while those in other arrangements receive additional funds based on a weighted scale. The bill also caps state funding for extended year services at $10 million annually and mandates that these funds be used exclusively for such programs.
