The resolution proposes to suspend certain provisions of House Rule 13 to allow a conference committee to make specific amendments to Senate Bill 568, which addresses special education in public schools, including funding under the Foundation School Program. The committee is authorized to amend the text regarding the availability of appropriately trained personnel for students with disabilities requiring significant behavioral support, as well as to clarify funding responsibilities for private facility placements. Additionally, the resolution allows for the omission of a proposed grant program for dyslexia training for teachers and staff, and it specifies the amount of grants available for supplemental services and materials for eligible students.
Furthermore, the resolution includes provisions for the administration of the grant program, ensuring that regional education service centers can receive a portion of the appropriated funds for their administrative costs. It also emphasizes that the approval and assignment of accounts for eligible students will be contingent on available funding. Overall, the resolution aims to enhance the support and resources available for special education services while ensuring clarity in funding and administrative processes.
