The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7253 aims to address the financial aspects of special education by mandating a report from the Commissioner of Education. This report, due by October 1, 2025, will detail the costs incurred by each school district for special education services during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Additionally, the Commissioner may include recommendations for potential limits on the expenditures that school districts can allocate towards special education services.

The bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for this report, while it does not delete any existing legal provisions. The intent of the bill is to provide transparency and oversight regarding special education spending, potentially leading to more controlled and efficient use of resources in this area.
