My kids go to a charter school. Wife works there. They have a number of people with severe disabilities. A few require multiple staff members per kid. It’s a huge burden as they don’t get nearly as much money as regular school. they only get state money, not local county money.

This is a language immersion school. Kids with IQ of 50 and lower are getting no benefit.

But siblings go there to so the parent doesn’t wanna make two stops.

My wife’s class was mostly shutdown for 6 months because she got six special needs kids and her kindergarten class at the beginning of the year. A mix of non verbal, Violent and or extreme low IQ.

It took that long to go through all the legal processes to get them moved to the proper rooms. She had quite a few injuries from it all. Lot of parents were unwilling to admit that kids had any issues.

Plus a lot of these issues were not caught in preschool since the pandemic had those shut down.
