In my small school district in upstate New York, we pay over $14 million a year for under 600 pupils in Special Ed. That is over $20,000 per pupil—on top of another $20,000+ that we already pay for general education for everyone. The money for Special Ed is well spent if it brings positive outcomes. […]
