 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.

When school reopened Thursday after last week's blizzard, none of the clinical staff that the children were used to were at the school and one of the teachers was also absent.

 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.

When a special diet request comes to the school, the school nutrition manager and employees will be familiar with the types of modifications that have to be made.
The fifth and final issue to be resolved in providing meals to children with special food and nutrition needs is whether the child is present at school and whether he/she wants a school meal.
If a registered dietitian is employed by the district school nutrition services, she/he may be assigned the responsibility to handle special meal requests in the district.
