SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Memorializing Congress to increase federal funding for special education programs and services. Requests Congress to increase federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, P. L. 105-17 as amended, and to defer implementation of unfunded special education requirements. Currently, the level of federal funding to Virginia for special education programs is approximately 12 percent of the actual costs. Special education programs and services are very expensive, and federal funding has been consistently insufficient to allow states and localities to implement the law fully without sacrificing other vital human services and bearing great fiscal burdens.
