Eliminate supplemental funding model Decision Package

•
Redirect One-Time Savings from Cap on State Share of Private Day Special Education Services (268 #1c) General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment reflects general fund savings from a 5.0 percent limit on the growth rate in state reimbursement to localities for private day special education services in the second year. The introduced budget included the language imposing a limit, but did not reflect any savings in the Children's Services Act budget. This one-time action redirects the savings to fund special education services in public schools to help support children in the least restrictive environment.
 
  FY FY
General Fund $0 ($5,000,000)
•
Office of Comprehensive Services Reporting Requirements (269 #1c) General Assembly Adjustment
