Special Education Funding

Special education funding refers to the financial resources allocated to support students with disabilities in public schools. This funding is designed to ensure these students receive an appropriate education tailored to their needs, as required by law. It often covers specialized services, instructional materials, and trained staff. Funding comes from federal, state, and local sources, with federal laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) providing guidelines and support. The goal is to create equitable educational opportunities, enabling students with disabilities to thrive alongside their peers.
