Relevant portion below:

Some District students with special education needs attend private schools because they are not able to receive adequate services within the DC school system. The District pays both transportation and tuition costs for these students. The number of students attending private schools increased by 25 percent between fiscal years 2002 and 2006, from 2,068 to 2,589. The average per pupil cost for these students is $70,000 per year, including more than $20,000 per pupil just for transportation.

2589 * 70,000 = 181.2 million dollars. Total DC school budget for 2006 was 832 million 2007 dollars, 815 million 2006 dollars. 181.2/815 = 22.2%.
