Relating to an allotment under the Foundation School Program for full individual and initial evaluations for special education services.
SB 555 adds a $2,000 per-student allotment under Texas' Foundation School Program for school districts conducting full individual and initial evaluations for special education services. It directly affects Texas public school districts that perform these required assessments under state or federal special education law. The bill establishes a specific funding amount ($2,000, or higher if appropriations increase) for each evaluation completed, rather than changing evaluation requirements. The provision takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies to all qualifying evaluations conducted after that date.
