Welcome to MEDA: Leadership Dedicated to Building Montana's Economy

While other special education funding proposals got the go-ahead from a legislative commission last week, the issue of whether to provide funding for special needs students older than 18 has hit another roadblock.

The School Funding Interim Commission, which wrapped up its work Aug. 29, couldn’t decide whether Montana should continue to cut off state funding for special education students 19 years old or older.

Montana is one of two states that doesn’t provide funding for students in school after they turn 19. Maine is the other, though its limit is higher at 20 years old.
