This bill increases the amount of special education funding that school districts can set aside each year for unexpected, high-cost expenses by adjusting it for inflation. Instead of staying at a fixed dollar amount, the threshold will grow annually to keep pace with rising costs, allowing districts more flexibility to handle extraordinary special education needs without depleting their regular budgets.
