The statistic in Massachusetts used to be that 17% of the children were in special education and they took 24% of the budget. That didn't seem so off. Our kids will cost more money. But, the feds have never provided their share under IDEA (still underfunded) and in MA they haven't provided their share of the funding promised either.

Just getting by isn't free and appropriate either.
