Most School districts have limited resources.
Can you provide budgetary examples of how those limited resources are reallocated in order to comply with the IDEA?
Sure, go to your state’s DOE, click on any district and access their budget. It is all public information.
My District’s budget is $70 million/year, of which $5 million is spent on special education for 1,000 children on IEPs, and roughly 1,000 children on 504s (out of a district of 7,200 students). Not exactly breaking the bank is it?
As I previously stated, this is what it costs to educate children.
