ECS Live: Funding High-quality Special Education Services

Since 2000, the number and percentage of students receiving special education services has greatly increased even as overall student enrollment has declined. Many schools now face a challenging dynamic where they are simultaneously experiencing fewer students, less overall state aid and more students receiving high-cost special education services. Hear from our policy experts Chris Duncombe and Katja Krieger alongside Dr. Tammy Kolbe from the American Institutes for Research, who is leading the national study of special education spending. Together, they will share trends in special education services, discuss the national special education funding landscape and highlight evidence-based approaches to equitably fund high-quality services. Deepen your understanding of the latest in state strategies to support equitable funding and high-quality special education services. Presentation starts 01:58 | Q&A starts 38:58
