Preschool Special Education
Not part of the formula…
•
Previous law:
•
Preschool education for students with disabilities funded on a unit (per
class) basis
•
no state share index multiplier, but approximately one-third of all units
previously operated had no state funding. (Serving these students is
required by federal law.)
•
New formula:
($4,000 X number of preschool students with disabilities)
+
(number of students in each category
X weighted amount for that category**
X state share index X 0.5)
**Same as for school aged Special Education students
