Next week, on Tuesday, April 23 at 9:30am, the Senate Education Committee will be holding a public hearing (and possibly voting) on HB 1656, which increases State funding for special education.
HB 1656 increases the State’s total differentiated aid for special education by $17.5 million. It also introduces levels of need to this part of the adequacy formula, so the State will provide more money for students with more intensive needs.
