What Is Fair? Special Education and Financial Equity.

Parrish, Thomas B.

School Business Affairs, v61 n8 p22-29 Aug 1995

Examines equity issues pertaining to special-education students, finance systems, and taxpayers. The major student equity focus is "inclusion." After passage of IDEA, reducing the number of restrictive special-education placements has become a clearly articulated policy objective. There is a movement away from cost-based to census-based funding. (19 references) (MLH)
