It requires the commissioner to annually notify districts of key funding factors like base per-pupil amounts, special education costs, and geographic adjustments. The bill also creates a new Special Education Funding Review Task Force to examine and recommend improvements to special education funding. These changes directly affect all public school districts receiving state aid and aim to ensure funding mechanisms align with current needs.
