You would greatly benefit from analyzing the finances of any school district for the past 25 years before claiming that we're seriously deriving our students of funding.

Over 85,000 per employee. Over $5,000 per student is provided in ADA funding. Thta's $150,000 per year for a classroom of 30 students.

Edit - special education is funded entirely separately by the feds and state. Keeping special ed in local schools doesn't "hurt" the schools financially one bit. I have additional knowledge in this area because my son is autistic and is in special ed in San Juan.
I could go on at great length about this subject, but since it does border on becoming a political disscussion, I won't. So just let me say tha I agree with both of you. Two of my closest friends are teachers, or were until they retired, so I do have some inside information on the subject. I'll just leave it at that. Good info from both of you though.
