Updated: Sep 13, 2024

The document outlines the state funding process for special education in Utah. Each Local Education Agency (LEA) must provide free and appropriate education (FAPE) to students with disabilities. Funding is distributed based on a Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU) system, which varies by program. Special education funding categories include add-on, preschool, self-contained, extended year services, and more. The document explains how these funds are calculated, distributed, and allocated to LEAs, as well as guidelines for new schools and charter schools regarding funding and reporting.
