Why 2/5: The bill mandates a study and report by December 2026, indicating a long-term assessment rather than immediate policy change.
The Department of Education will assess how funds designated for regional special education students are utilized. This assessment aims to identify strategies to maximize funding use and reduce the number of students with disabilities placed in private day schools.
