Why 4/5: Establishes new state programs and funding mechanisms for at-risk and special education students, requiring significant operational changes and future appropriations.
This bill establishes a new At-Risk Program and a state-funded add-on for special education students within Virginia's Standards of Quality, requiring corresponding funding formulas to be set in the state budget. It also mandates annual reporting by the Department of Education on total and per-pupil operating expenditures from all funding sources for each school division, increasing transparency on school finance.
