	Special ed driving up school costs (phillyBurbs.com)
		Special education costs at public schools have risen dramatically, becoming more of a driving force behind rising property tax bills and fueling the debate over how those programs are funded.
		Special education costs at those districts combined increased by an annual average of 14 percent between 1994-95 and this school year, while overall school spending has gone up a yearly average of 8 percent during that time.
		Although school officials say traditional school programs haven't suffered at the expense of increasing special education costs, they fear unpopular budget cuts could soon become unavoidable, particularly at districts that decide to accept state gambling proceeds and the spending restrictions tied to that money.

	Special School Review
		There was a need to change the way special schools are funded given their increasingly complex populations and also that some work on special school buildings was required to enable them to meet the increasingly complex needs.
		This was considered preferable to continuing the expansion of special units and special schools.
		Furthermore, it was expected that special schools would provide more support to mainstream schools in order to help them prepare for this more complex population.
