School districts can now levy up to $1.68 per thousand dollars of taxable property value for special education (increased from $1.61), giving them more local funding to cover special education services and assistive technology for students with disabilities. The bill also updates the state aid formula for special education to account for this higher local contribution, changing how state funds are calculated to supplement district spending on special education programs.
