[quote=Anonymous][quote]That average cost per student includes special ed students, students who require one on one aide support, esol students, etc. The typical student with no issues costs far less than the $13-14k number you cited. [/quote] New poster, and not really. According to the budget document (see page 162)..... [quote]In FY 2015, 25,715 students are projected to receive special education services. Special education students require specialized instruction and additional resources. The average cost per pupil for the special education program is $22,720 while the general education average cost per pupil is $11,359.[/quote] So special education is very expensive, but less than 15% of students receive [b]any[/b] special education services. Less than 10% receive what are called Level 2 services, which is the majority of their educational day spent in a special education environment.[/quote]
