State Special Education Funding Models

State Special Education Funding Models determine how states allocate money for educating students with disabilities. These models provide financial resources to school districts based on factors like the number of students with special needs, the severity of their disabilities, and required support services. The goal is to ensure that all students receive appropriate educational support. Funding can come from a mix of state, federal, and local sources, and it varies by state. Effective funding models aim to promote equity, meet legal requirements, and support schools in delivering quality education tailored to individual needs.
