What’s in it

AI summary If there is money left over from the $500,000 set aside for school transportation costs, the Department of Education can move it into a special incentive fund. This fund provides grants to school districts through a specific program.1

Read the official explanation

For FY 2023-2024, the general assembly appropriated $500,000 to the department of education for payment of school district claims for transportation reimbursement submitted in connection with therapeutic classroom services. This bill authorizes the deposit of moneys that remain unencumbered or unobligated after the completion of such payments into the therapeutic classroom incentive fund created in Code section 256.25, as determined by the department. That fund is used to distribute grants to school districts under the therapeutic classroom incentive grant program.

Why it matters. School districts that provide therapeutic classroom services may see leftover transportation reimbursement money moved into a special incentive fund. The department of education will then use those funds to provide grants to school districts through the therapeutic classroom incentive grant program.2
