Convert special education funding into a block grant run by Health and Human Services
What the document says“Most IDEA funding should be converted into a no-strings formula block grant targeted at students with disabilities”
The chapter proposes distributing the money directly to local education agencies through the Administration for Children and Families at Health and Human Services, and moving the department's disability discrimination enforcement work to the Justice Department.
What the document actually says“Most IDEA funding should be converted into a no-strings formula block grant targeted at students with disabilities”
Most of this money should go out as a block grant. It should carry no strings.
Federal money helps schools teach children with disabilities. The book says it should go straight to school districts. Another department would send it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
