Eliminates provisions authorizing proportionate payment of school district claims for reimbursement for providing special education services, requires the General Assembly to appropriate adequate funds to reimburse school districts for 100% of the costs of providing special education services, and provides for payment of a prior year's reimbursement claims in the next succeeding fiscal year (and before payment of current claims for that succeeding fiscal year) if the amount appropriated in the prior fiscal year is insufficient to provide for full reimbursement of the claims filed for that year. Increases from $2,000 to $2,250 for the 1998-99 school year and $2,500 for subsequent school years the maximum reimbursement over one per capita tuition charge for providing extraordinary special education services. Increases the reimbursement for teachers, school psychologists, professional workers, and a qualified director who furnish special education services in a recognized school to children with disabilities. Effective July 1, 1998.
