Republicans push to reroute federal funds for special education
The article reports GOP leaders and educators debating funding for disabled students under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Estimates place the cost at $10.9 billion yearly, with Ohio owed about $384 million in federal special education funds. Some prefer a long-term commitment over quick cash to hire teachers, while Republicans seek to shift existing education money to special education, with a Senate amendment allowing $1.2 billion of Clinton-era funds to be redirected.
