The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 139, aims to amend section 10-76ggg of the general statutes by increasing the appropriation for the special education and expansion development grant by $191 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. This increase is intended to provide additional support for students with special education needs and to help school districts manage the financial volatility associated with special education expenditures.

The bill reflects a commitment to enhancing resources for special education, ensuring that students receive the necessary support while also alleviating the financial burden on school districts. By increasing the grant appropriation, the legislation seeks to create a more stable funding environment for special education programs.
