I think you can ignore the transportation part, if for no other reason than impracticality - not all districts offer effective or workable transportation now.

I think you can ignore the transportation part, if for no other reason than impracticality - not all districts offer effective or workable transportation now. I'd suggest that additional funding for special education, on a per student basis could be based on some sort of disability index, whereas the more services they require gets the district more money. Ideally some formula that is a mix of numbers based on local assessments, and weighted to similar districts in size and socioeconomic backgrounds of their residents. Like if a district games the system, the weighting should result in them being brought back into some mean.

> I think you can ignore the transportation part, No. Why should I accept less from a private school when the public school already guarantees it? This is incredibly important for special needs students and families. > I'd suggest that additional funding for special education... This already happens. In part, it depends on the state and county. Schools get more money for special needs students. I'm fine with them getting more money, but let's not pretend that the school receives the same funding for special-needs and non-special needs students.
