Help Protect Special Education
It's time we have a Governor in Ohio protect special education funding in the state.
It's time we determine the additional costs necessary to provide educational services to students with special needs, such as students who are socially and economically disadvantaged, students with disabilities and students who require vocational or gifted educational services.
The cost of providing educational services to students with special needs should be indexed to the cost of providing a high quality educational program for regular students, so that each component increases proportionately and in parity. State funding for providing services to students with disabilities should be 100%.
As a father with two sons with autism, these students need funding as adequate as funding regular students.
