[quote=Anonymous]OP it may not seem fair, but the public school system guarantees an education to every child whether they can afford tuition at a private school or not.  This applies to children without special needs, who would attend and participate in a regular classroom, or kids who have SN and applying appropriate accommodations for them.

Just as there is no income cap for providing a regular public classroom for a child, there is no income cap for providing SN services for a child who needs them, including private placement if that is needed for that child to receive an education.

The part where you should decide things can be unfair is that wealthy parents may be more unable to hire a lawyer to aggressively advocate for their child getting what they need in the public system than parents with few means.  But the solution to that problem is not an income cap for private placement but instead a system where we are more fair consistent and reasonable about getting appropriate services for all SN children without lawyers being needed.
