Special Education Actuarial Consulting Services
Under New Hampshire state law, expenses for special education students are shared between the local school district, special education aid by the state and IDEA funding from the federal government. Pursuant to the current formula, the local school district is responsible for the primary costs of special education, up to 3.5 times the statewide average cost per pupil. Between 3.5 times and 10 times the statewide average, the school is responsible for 20%, and any amounts over 10 times are the responsibility of the state.
Historically, the state has not met its funding obligation and portions of the state funding have fallen to local districts. The result of this is that school districts, which pick up the additional special education costs, experience wide swings when high-cost cases move into a district. Because these costs cannot always be anticipated, district’s budgets are disrupted and more difficult to manage.
The department of education is exploring options to create a risk financing mechanism, likely an insurance product, that would be available to school districts to help manage this risk. Such a product would address the two principle concerns of predictability of cost in a budget cycle and a smoothing of cost from year to year that may results with high cost cases.
