The Executive Budget proposes several changes to both rationalize the existing Preschool Special Education financing system and limit the ability of some providers to reap excessive financial benefits to maximize the amount of funding that goes to direct services. These proposals include equally assigning any county growth (excluding New York City) above 2011-12 school year costs to the State, the county, and school districts, and eliminating potential conflicts of interest inherent in the current evaluation system. For counties outside of New York City, these reforms will result in $20 million in cumulative reduced liabilities in 2013.
