Plain-English Summary

The federal government currently pays only a portion of the costs for special education services that schools are required to provide under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), leaving states and local school districts to cover the remaining expenses. This bill would increase federal funding to fully cover the costs of special education, reducing the financial burden on schools and potentially allowing them to spend more resources on other educational needs. The change would affect students with disabilities, schools, and state education budgets across the country.
