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.
But I’m asking you, since you’re knowledgeable of the subject.

What was the allocation prior to the IDEA?
