§ 33514 Federal Special Education Funds

• •California must set aside 15% of certain federal money for special education projects every year.
• •The State Board of Education is in charge of deciding how to use this money.
• •This rule has been in place since 1980.

Imagine the state gets $100 million from the federal government for schools.

The state must use $15 million of that money specifically for special education programs, like helping kids with learning disabilities.
