Full Federal Funding for Special Education Services (IDEA Act).

This bill aims to significantly increase federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) over the next decade. This change guarantees that schools will receive more resources to provide specialized educational services for children aged 3-21. This means potentially better quality support for students and reduced financial pressure on local taxpayers.
Key points
Gradual increase in federal funds for special education starting from Fiscal Year 2024 through 2033, based on escalating dollar amounts and percentages.
Goal: To achieve the full federal funding commitment of 40% of special education costs by Fiscal Year 2033 and subsequent years.
Increased funding is intended to ensure better services and support for children with disabilities in public schools, easing the burden on state and local budgets.
