There is a lot of information circulating about the cost of special education and how it should be funded by the state.  I have attached a document that helps outline the cost of special education in Butler County.

Disappointed in the public school bashing at the #ksleg. Public schools are expensive because they provide for such a variety of need. My sons teachers and therapists…he’s expensive and is definitely not improving state test scores. Still worth the cost. #fullyfundsped
