g. Adopt Resolution Number 08-09-16 for Approval of Behavioral Intervention Plans [Hughes Bill] Mandated Cost Claim Settlement and Waiving Rights to File Any Claim Regarding the Hughes Bill Statute and Regulations in the Future (Materials)
In the resolution the Board (1) approves the settlement which will bring Fillmore Unified School District approximately $14.85 per 2007-08 ADA annually for the six year period beginning 2011-12 through 2016-17 and approximately $10.92 per ADA for the SELPA as part of the AB 602 funding formula, beginning in 2009-2010, and increasing by COLA and ADA growth in subsequent years; (2) agrees to waive its ability to file future mandated cost claims on the Hughes Bill statute and regulations as currently worded; and (3) direct the District’s authorized representative to sign the waiver to implement this action. The Behavior Intervention Plans [Hughes Bill] Mandated Cost Claim Settlement settles the test claim CSM-4464 initiated by San Diego Unified School District, Butte County Office of Education, and San Joaquin County Office of Education, and related Sacramento Superior Court case, No. 03CS01432, regarding reimbursement for cost associated with behavioral intervention plans required by the Hughes Bill statute and regulations under state law. If approved, it ends a fourteen-year dispute with the State of California regarding funding for state behavioral intervention plan requirements that are in excess of federal law. The settlement provides $520 million in reimbursements for past costs associated with behavioral intervention settlement and $65 million annually for ongoing costs. The Legislature’s obligation to fund the settlement is contingent on 85% of all districts, county offices of education, and special education local plan areas constituting 92% of statewide ADA waiving their rights to file additional mandated cost claims on the current Hughes Bill statue and regulations.
