Alaska ponders closing intensive-needs funding gap
January 15th, 2008From the Anchorage Daily News:
Alaska legislators and Gov. Sarah Palin are promoting a plan that would shift some of the cost of educating students with intensive needs away from local school districts and onto the state.
It is estimated that students with the most severe disabilities cost school districts some $75,000 per year, while the state has been paying only about $27,000 each. The proposed change would raise the state’s contribution to about $70,000 by the year 2011.
