Majority — INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
This bill boldly proposes to replace the existing differentiated aid grant to school districts (embedded in the adequacy formula) of $2,100 for each pupil receiving special education services with a comprehensive requirement that the state “reimburse school districts on a quarterly basis 80 percent of the cost” of all special education services. This commitment would obligate the state to assume nearly $800 million of the almost $1 billion currently spent in New Hampshire on such services, with no indication as to where that sum would come from. The committee considered three bills aimed at increasing the state’s share of special education funding and fashioned a more realistic combination of measures into an amendment of HB 1563. With the committee’s 18-0 vote to recommend Ought to Pass with Amendment on
