Brief overview: special-education safety net, Community Impact Award eligibility for military bases
During the meeting’s opening presentation on special-education funding, staff (identified in the transcript as Kayla) described the special-education safety-net—a state funding mechanism to cover district or individual costs that exceed what the basic funding formula provides.

Kayla said the safety net includes a Community Impact Award that military bases may apply for when a base’s location causes a district to serve a large number of students or a high concentration of high-needs students; that award is applied for through the safety-net funds. Staff also presented a chart of state general fund expenditures for the Special Education Program covering the 2018–19 school year forward, and noted that 2023–24 figures displayed were budgeted (preliminary) numbers subject to later update.

No formal committee actions on the special-education materials were recorded in the transcript; staff concluded the overview and the meeting moved on to the higher-education session.
