Rethinking Special Education Funding
Manage episode 298828724 series 2818590
The way California provides funding for students with disabilities has not changed in decades and is the largest remaining categorical program in the state. WestEd has been researching alternatives that could provide more efficiency in how existing resources are distributed to school districts along with better accountability to enhance services and improve outcomes for students. The WestEd study on special education finance has been released. We talk to one of the study authors on their findings and recommendations to rethink the state's funding model and align it with other current accountability systems.
