As
to cost, you clearly have
access to data, but of course, special education costs are picked up by the state, as are the transportation expenses and
depending on which
charter schools you are talking about, the local municipality may be subsidizing students or certain costs as they do in Hartford and New Haven.
The percentage of students with special needs served by a
charter school however, largely
depends on whether or not a
charter school has the flexibility and
access to the special education funding necessary
to run its own special education programs.
