Rethinking the use of paraprofessionals, keeping more students in district, streamlining transportation, and using  data driven staffing models can lower your special education budget. Academic gains are possible, often with no additional spending, by better integration with general education, greater content expertise in the special education classroom, and intensive reading intervention.

 

Less spending and more learning begins with an Opportunities Review. Every district is different. A Special Education Opportunities Review provides a detailed look at special education in your schools and provides a focused road map outlining the three to five highest impact opportunities for your district.
