Plain-English Summary

The federal government would increase its funding contribution for special education services in public schools, bringing it closer to the 40% of costs that Congress originally promised when creating special education law. This would reduce the financial burden on states and local school districts, allowing them to spend more money on classroom resources and services for students with disabilities. Schools, teachers, and families of students with disabilities would benefit from more stable and adequate funding for special education programs.
