But the factors that drive that satisfaction are also what make mandated special education requirements costly. Educators must follow detailed plans to meet the unique needs of every student. Most of the plans require additional staff to get the job done. The result is a complex and expensive school day. Sam Graves is a fourth grader at Lake Harriet Community School in Minneapolis.

Extractions: House Passes Special Ed Bill Without Portability On April 30, the house passed the measure reauthorizing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). However, for the third time in as many debates on the legislation, Democrats unsuccessfully argued that federal funding for special education should be mandatory, meaning it would not be subject to the annual appropriations process. The House also rejected two GOP measures that would have given states the flexibility to use federal dollars to follow a specific child and help pay for tuition at private schools. Democrats said the measure was simply a special education voucher program, and contended that federal dollars shouldn't be used to send students to private schools that aren't held to the same accountability standards as public schools. In line with the house-senate budget resolution, the bill would authorize discretionary spending increases of $2.2 billion in fiscal 2004 and $2.5 billion in fiscal 2005, bringing the total federal contribution to special education to about 21 percent next year. Funding for fiscal 2003 is at 18 percent.
