The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5207, aims to amend section 10-76ggg of the general statutes to ensure the full funding of the special education and expansion development grant for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. This legislative initiative is introduced by a group of representatives and senators, including Rep. Paolillo, Rep. Winter, Sen. Looney, and others, highlighting a collective effort to enhance funding for special education programs.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses solely on the insertion of language that mandates the full funding of the grant. The primary objective of this bill is to secure adequate financial resources for special education, thereby supporting the educational needs of students requiring special services.
