AN ACT REQUIRING REPORTS CONCERNING SPECIAL EDUCATION EXPENDITURES.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2018) On or before July 1, 2019, and annually thereafter, each local and regional board of education shall submit a report on its expenditures for special education for the prior fiscal year to the Department of Education. Such report shall include, but need not be limited to, (1) the total expenditures for special education of the board of education, (2) the expenditures for special education as a percentage of the school district's total expenditures, and (3) individual expenditures for each child requiring special education who is under the jurisdiction of the board of education, except a board of education shall not include in such report any information that personally identifies, or can be used to personally identify, any such child or children requiring special education. Such report shall not be a public record, as defined in section 1-200 of the general statutes, except that nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the disclosure of information that is included in the strategic school profile under subsection (c) of section 10-220 of the general statutes.
Sec. 2. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2018) On or before October 1, 2019, and annually thereafter, the Department of Education shall submit a report on disaggregated data relating to the expenditures for special education by local and regional boards of education for the prior fiscal year, collected pursuant to section 1 of this act, to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to education, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a of the general statutes. Such report shall include, but need not be limited to, a breakdown of the total number of students requiring special education in each school district whose per pupil educational cost for such school district is (1) two times the net current expenditures per resident student of such school district, (2) two and one-half times the net current expenditures per resident student of such school district, (3) three times the net current expenditures per resident student of such school district, (4) three and one-half times the net current expenditures per resident student of such school district, (5) four times the net current expenditures per resident student of such school district, and (6) four and one-half times the net current expenditures per resident student of such school district. For purposes of this section, "net current expenditures per resident student" means the quotient obtained by dividing the net current expenditures, as defined in section 10-261 of the general statutes, of such local or regional board of education for the prior fiscal year by the number of resident students, as defined in section 10-262f of the general statutes, of such local or regional board of education.
