Special education a costly necessity in local schools
Special education imposes mandates and high costs on public districts in Lawrence County. Superintendents, including Leonard Rich of Laurel, say funding lags as costs rise from 30,000 to 40,000 dollars per child with transport and private placements. State funding now hinges on district enrollment, not pupil counts, leaving districts hopeful for more support while leaders press for a clearer state responsibility.
