Funds extended school year special education evaluations
The law gives $383,784 from the Virgin Islands Education Initiative Fund to the Department of Education. The money pays for evaluations to decide if students qualify for extended school year special education services. $196,238 goes to St. Croix and $187,546 goes to St. Thomas/St. John. The funding is for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and stays available until spent. It can be used for these evaluations despite the usual limits in 33 V.I.C. § 3093.
Shifts 2025 and 2026 dates by one year
The law changes Act No. 8951, subsection 1(a). It replaces “2025” with “2026” and “2026” with “2027.” This moves those timelines one year later for people covered by that act. No other details are given here.
