Educational Expenditures

Interpreting the Data The data tells us that there is a large variance between the educational costs of students. That means the district must: 1)Ensure that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) are followed with the intent set forth A.Free and Appropriate Public Education B.Educational needs are met in the Least Restrictive Environment 2)Ensure that services are allocated and provided based on legitimate needs as determined by the IEP team 3)Establish the proper protocols to ensure that the IEP process is equitable across the district
